The demonstration is designed to highlight how purposeful, play-based activities support early learning and development. This brief, interactive session showcases common classroom materials (such as blocks, books, and sensory materials) and explicitly connects them to learning outcomes in language, math, problem-solving, and social-emotional development. The goal of this demonstration is to help visitors understand that play is an intentional, standards-aligned instructional approach rather than unstructured free time. 

Introduces students to medical coding and health information technology using superhero themed clinical scenarios. Each case highlights how symptoms, documentation, and context translate into accurate ICD10CM and CPT/HCPCS codes. The presentation also reinforces HIPAA principles, emphasizing privacy and data protection even for high-profile “patients.” It closes by exploring career opportunities in the field and celebrating coding as a real-world superpower that protects patients, providers, and healthcare systems. In the presentation, students will have the opportunity to review the codebooks and code some examples. 

Participate in a Hydraulic Actuator Lab. L the fundamentals of Hydraulic Power using a test bench which simulates a multitude of Hydraulic Powered Actuators used in industry.

Nursing faculty and students will demonstrate how nurses assess and respond to a medical emergency in real time using a realistic scenario. Attendees will see how nurses think, communicate, and act quickly to keep patients safe, while also learning what bystanders can do before professional care arrives.

Q-Scout by Robobloq is an entry-level, DIY educational STEM robot kit to learn coding, robotics, and electronics. Featuring a metal chassis, it is built using 65 pieces and programmed via Scratch 3.0 or Python to move, play music, follow lines, and avoid obstacles. IT faculty will demonstrate how program and control Q-Scout, a Robot car. Attendees will participate in programming with their own smartphone to connect a Robot car. Bring your own smartphone and connect it to Q-Scout. Then control it!

Highlights:

• Demo for auto line trace function
• Faculty narration about programming in HW and computer systems
• Audience participation in programming, controlling, and Q&A

Electrosurgery plays a critical role in modern surgical procedures, allowing the surgical team to cut tissue and control bleeding with precision. This engaging and educational session explores how electricity is utilized in the operating room and highlights the surgical technologist’s vital role in maintaining patient safety. Participants will learn the differences between monopolar and bipolar electrosurgical setups, how electrical current travels through the patient, and the safeguards in place to prevent burns and other complications. This presentation is ideal for anyone interested in healthcare, surgical technology, or patient safety. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how surgical teams harness electrical energy safely and effectively to support successful surgical outcomes.

During the hands-on portion, participants can expect to:

• Observe demonstrations of monopolar versus bipolar ESU configurations
• Practice proper usage of the electrosurgical unit. 

Learn about Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Drives
