Tour 1A Get a close-up view of a human heart, brain, liver, lung and other such internal organs. Honors students majoring in Biomedical Sciences at CSU will introduce participants to the study of anatomy through a general tour of the lab facility and a demonstration using isolated human organs will be included for all tours. The fee for this tour is $1.00 per person and is limited to 30 people. Please wear close-toed shoes and be aware that no photos will be allowed while on the tour. This tour requires a separate permission form (pdf) for all students - please download and fax (970-491-2005) or email (csef@colostate.edu) to the CSEF by April 1st or you will NOT be allowed to participate!!
Tour 2A Take a tour of one of the longest operating weather stations in the western United States. Weather observations for research, teaching and public information have been conducted on the CSU campus since the early 1870’s. This tour will showcase the instruments that are used to measure temperature, humidity, precipitation, evaporation, winds, solar radiation and more. Learn how the data are used and how you can access the data for yourself as well. The fee for this tour is $1.00 per person and is limited to 20 people. Tour 4A We will be doing an aseptic technique demo with Glo-germ, a fluorescing bacteria demonstration, a bacterial streaking of common surfaces, and a bacterial antibiotic demonstration. We will also have a Q&A session on research opportunities at CSU. The fee for this presentation is $1.00 per person and is limited to 20 people. Tour 5A Join us as we take a brief journey from the edge of our galaxy to the depths of our DNA. We will focus on the artistic beauty of views of the natural world at greatly different scales in full color 3D. The fee for this presentation is $1.00 per person and is limited to 25 people. Tour 7A CSU Student Ambassadors will give participants an in-depth walking tour of campus that include stops at the historic Oval, the library, a classroom, campus rec center and a residence hall. The fee for this presentation is $1.00 per person and is limited to 25 people. Tour 8A Meet a current Engineering Student Ambassador and take an in-depth tour of our engineering facilities. You will visit the Engineering Building, which houses classroom and laboratory spaces. Additionally, you will tour the new Scott Bioengineering building to learn more about the work being done in this exciting research-pod based facility. The fee for this tour is $1.00 per person and is limited to 20 people. Tour 9A Our group works on manufacturing with polymer and composite materials (including 3D printing). We plan to prepare some samples and live demos from our research. The fee for this presentation is $1.00 per person and is limited to 15 people.
