The Fight Blight initiative is working hard to combat and clean-up local neighborhoods with the help of engaged citizens. Blight threatens public safety, lowers property values and degrades quality of life. Jacksonville neighborhoods can become safer, cleaner and more beautiful places for all of us to live if we work together—as One City, One Jacksonville—to fight blight. Neighborhood blight refers to the deterioration and decay of neighborhoods in many cities across the country due to neglect, crime or lack of economic support. This can also be referred to as urban decay. As homes or properties fall further into disrepair, they can negatively affect other properties around them. Blight conditions can lower surrounding property values, create havens for crime and illegal activity, and can threaten the public health and safety of a community. Blight is a drag on community energy, a siphon on city vitality, and a strong deterrent to economic investment. It can be a source of despair or cynicism for people who have witnessed the decline of a particular building or neighborhood over time. Eliminating Jacksonville’s blight will dramatically improve the next chapter of the city’s future.

For the adults, they will listen to music through headphones and take a short survey. We will explain what parts of the brain gives them the knowledge of how different types of music affect them emotionally.

How is Technology Improving Architecture?
Building the Future
Look around! Architecture surrounds us. It plays a huge role in our lives and the wellbeing of our planet. Technology surrounds us too, as newer gadgets meet the market daily. Have you ever wondered how these two unite? Design systems such as Computer Aided Design, Virtual Reality, and 3D Printing empower architects to design on a new level. Modern building techniques enable houses to operate while consuming zero net energy. Come to our booth to learn how these modern-day technologies are improving architecture and its impact on the planet. You might be surprised by how much things are changing!

Can you build a dancing wheelchair?A Disco/Dancing Wheelchair will be demonstrated. A prototype will also be demonstrated to show the stages of development in the project.
Our project is to build a four points of access electric wheelchair that can assist people with physical needs to be able to dance independently. Our chair will be able to make quick motions going backward and forward, side to side and complete 360s.
The four points of access will include, eye gaze, switches, Kinect movements and a remote. These four points of access will allow a wide range of differently abled people to access our chair independently. The aim is for physically challenged people be able to experience the pure joy of being able to move their body independently while dancing. Although our team member Molly Paris conceived the idea for herself to use at prom this year; our hope is to have it become a community wheelchair which will allow anyone with physical challenges the opportunity to dance.
Our JSF booth will be set up as a disco with our final product and prototype on display for visitors to interact with and try out. Of course there will be lots of dancing going on in our booth. Visitors can learn about the mechanics and software behind our dancing wheelchair along with eye gaze technology.

What is the physical and emotional connection behind a tattoo?
How would you like to live with a permanent design on your body? We all know someone with at least one tattoo, but there are many reasons to be cautious about it. What are you curious about? Have you thought of what you would look like with a dragon on you? At our booth, you can receive your own fabulous tattoo or create your own tattoo design. Come check out what a tattoo addict looks like and find out if you have a connection with tattoos. What would your dragon represent?

How does ancestry affect our genetics?
We’ll have a board game across Europe, representing the silk road and all of it’s perils. (Demonstrating the distribution of genetic code over many years along a common trade route). A poster board that displays our information, and some decorations with a genetic theme will decorate the booth.
How has your lineage shaped the genetic code of yourself and others around you? Finding this out could potentially help you find dormant genetic diseases. In our presentation we explain what genetics are and branch into other subjects that will enlighten you, such as hereditary diseases, statistics on probability of physical traits, how history and geography has played a role in our modern genetic code, and even genetic modification. So what are genetics in the first place? Genes are found in our DNA We’ll have a board game across Europe, representing the silk road and all of it’s perils. (Demonstrating the distribution of genetic code over many years along a common trade route). Come to the Jacksonville Science Festival and experience, not just ours, but many great projects.

Essential Question
Why Are Herbal Remedies A Good Alternative To Standard medications?
Do you want to live longer and healthier? Then use our therapeutic herbal remedies. Did you know over 783,936 people die from iatrogenic treatment, (for illness) each year? But with our natural medicines there has been no negative side effects. Our herbal medicine is made with natural herbs that we produced in our garden. Herbs have natural healing properties that help sickness along with outer and inner pain. Using herbal medicines could lower deaths from prescriptions. At our JSF group you will be introduced to our farming department, production department, experiment department, and our nutrition department. The farming department will teach you the practice of caring for plants. The production department will teach you the process of making and producing herbal tea and oil. The experiment group will show the experience of the testing we did to better improve our garden and herbs. The nutrition group will share the importance of each herb used to make the tea and oil.

Our booth will present information about the medical laboratory of technology program at Florida State College at Jacksonville. We will have a poster board set up providing the education needed and pictures of the MLT program of FSCJ. A microscope will be set up with prepared slides for viewing. Also, we will have some hands on activities. Students will be able to see how many germs are on their hands and how that can relate to picking up diseases or infections. They will also be able to see how it leads to testing in a laboratory. We have pictures to display of cell morphology, bacteria, viruses, etc. Another activity that we will have set up are streaking of agar plates for bacterial growth. There will be no live organisms present in the protection of us and everyone else. We will also have a laptop set up with a powerpoint slide show of more pictures relating to a medical laboratory. We hope to have students engage in our fun activities and provide an exciting learning experience to help students decide on their careers in the future.
