Long Island STEM Career Expo
http://www.cradleofaviation.org
The Cradle of Aviation Museum is happy to announce its fifth annual STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Career Expo! The STEM Expo is a great opportunity for your 10th and 11th grade students to make connections with company representatives in STEM industries. The best part, these companies have roots on Long Island!
In recent years, local companies have had a difficult time finding employees who fill their workforce need. Why? Young adults are leaving Long Island for higher education opportunities elsewhere, and as a result hunt for employment in those regions. To bridge this gap, the Cradle of Aviation Museum seeks to introduce students to careers right in their backyard!
The STEM Expo is the perfect venue for students to be introduced to and prepare them for the careers of tomorrow by establishing a foundation to develop 21st century skills and achieve the new heights in education needed for success.
Pre-registration is required. Teachers are encouraged to RSVP for their students as soon as possible.

Maglev Competition,
http://www.cradleofaviation.org/education/comp.html
NASSAU COUNTY Middle Schools, like so many areas, has traffic congestion problems. Many experts believe the best way to solve this problem is to design a new transportation system. One approach is to develop "MAGLEV" vehicles which float over a fixed track, supported (levitated) and driven by magnetic fields. This is like flying with lift provided by magnets instead of wings. In this contest, students will create magnetic levitation vehicles and compete in one of five categories using math, science, and technology principles to optimize the design of a MAGLEV vehicle.

http://summercamps.dnalc.org/info/genome.html
The term genome was coined in 1920 by the German botanist Hans Winkler. A combination of the words gene and chromosome, a genome is the set of genes located on one or more chromosomes that defines a living organism. The concept of a genome has been expanded to mean the entire sequence of DNA nucleotides or "letters" (ATGC) that compose the genetic information within an organism's set of chromosomes, or all of it's genes. Complete genome sequences are now available for humans and many plants and animals. With this information in hand, the next step is for scientists to understand the physiological functions of the thousands of new genes for which little in known beyond their sequences.
