At Science Alive, local middle school students engage in enjoyable, hands-on science activities led by Gavilan faculty, college science and engineering majors, and local STEM professionals.
This year, we will have sessions on the chemistry of soap, deductive reasoning, separate dissections of a lamb's heart and a cow's eye, getting the DNA out of strawberries, fractals, genes and genomics, catalysts and polymers, optical illusions, cryptography, and separate sessions on building and understanding the science behind an electric motor, a trebuchet, a hovercraft, and a wind turbine. We will also have a workshop on how to make a chatbot and learn about artificial intelligence.
