In partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb, Department of Defense Education Activity, Generation STEAM, and the Chula Vista Public Library, the Life Science Station experience gives 4th grade students the opportunity to explore their strengths and interests and align them with potential careers in the life sciences and biotechnology sector. Students participate in engaging, hands-on career exploration activities and participate in a design thinking challenge to create a prototype of a device that would help improve a current piece of medical technology.

At the Life Sciences Station, students can expect to experience the following:

  • Lab Operations Management
  • Strawberry DNA Extraction
  • Micropipette Practice
  • Medical Device Prototyping
  • Medical and Scientific Illustration
  • Marketing Research Challenge
