Use our computers to pick individual atoms from an interactive periodic table, and then construct your own molecule from the basic building blocks of matter.

A showcase of how vital Computational Science is to research in the sciences and engineering. Stop by and pick up a FREE 2012 calendar featuring our graduate students' research work.

Visit the Audio Lab where we use computer science to analyze dolphin and whale sounds. See interactive kiosks from our collaborators at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, periodic demonstrations of research tools, and you can learn how to visualize your own voice using spectrograms.

Learn how we keep track of animals in our studies. One of the most difficult parts of studying animals is keeping track of them – they hide, move, and sometimes travel really long distances. We will show you how to use radio telemetry equipment and lead you on the chase to help us find an animal right here on campus.

Learn about Forensic Science, develop fingerprints utilizing different methods.

View displays of heart circulation, cardiac anatomy, and actual data recordings of a heart attack. Conduct your own experiment using a computer to record changes in HR to exercise and simulated driving. Alan & Debbie Gold Auditorium (first floor)

View a Genetic Analyzer in the Biology Department's DNA Sequencing Facility. Scientists will discuss the production of DNA sequence data.

Explore the amazing world of the human body.Look into a microscope to see the incredible organization and beauty behind bone and muscle. Observe healthy hearts and brains, and compare those with a diseased heart and brains. Watch healthy lungs expand, and contrast them with the lungs from a smoker.

See several robot projects including: (a) helicopter robot for monitoring natural reserves/ habitats, (b) an assistant robot that follows a walking person, and (c) several guard robots working together to secure a building.

Demonstration using a hydrogen fuel-cell/solar hybrid-powered toy car.

Come see self-produced, viral music videos created by SDSU’s biology students during the Fall 2011 semester.

A wide range of lasers, used in multi-photon nonlinear laser techniques for biomedical and environmental applications, will be on display.

See inside cells magnified thousands of times on our scanning and transmission electron microscopes.

Presentation highlighting the instrumentation associated with geochemical research.

Enjoy a tour of the starry night sky in our planetarium. (20-minute shows) Sorry, no wheelchair access inside planetarium.

Experience ocean waves and Earth's movement.

See how the VizCenter helps with Humanitarian Assistance Disaster Relief, stimulation of international relationships and trade, plus assisting law enforcement through emerging technologies, innovative back-end processing, and operational needs.

See how magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to image the human brain and ways that scientists study the structure and patterns of activity in children's brains as they mature into adults.

Learn about the importance of rocks and minerals in everyday-life, start a mineral collection.

Liquid nitrogen instant ice cream, balloon freezing, and much more.

The power of air pressure will be demonstrated as ping-pong balls are launched to supersonic speeds at empty soda cans. Be prepared to cover your ears from the sonic boom!

Come see what your brain activity looks like.

View the Sun though telescopes (safely). Experts talk about the Sun and how "space weather" can affect the Earth. (EVENT WILL MOVE TO PS-256 IF RAINING)

A look at the components of the solar spectrum. (EVENT WILL MOVE TO PS-256 IF RAINING)

Hands-on design, building, and testing of your very own project to learn basic math, engineering, and scientific principles.

Explore: Origins-of-order in the universe, developmental biology, sources of fluctuations in the stock market, and the sudden rise and fall of civilizations.

Come see our engaging and interactive displays of games written by SDSU students.

Examine mathematical principles through hands-on explorations of projective geometry, prime numbers, and similarity.

Five students are suspected of forging the answers to an exam. You need to determine if one of the pens found on a suspect matches the ink from the exam. Use the same technique the police use to analyze ink.

Chemists and biologists learn how a molecule works by studying its three-dimensional structure, even the largest molecules are too small to be directly observed by the most powerful light microscopes. The solution? Prepare a crystal of the sample and use x-rays!
