Harrison Liu and Veronica Pessino: Building Future Scientists with LEGO Bricks

Harrison (PhD candidate, Bioengineering) and Veronica (PhD candidate, Biophysics) are students who tackle the most complex scientific problems in a fun and novel way - using LEGO bricks. LegoScopes were developed as a way to attract kids to science - to examine and dissect scientific issues and encourage team collaboration while being able to identify failure sooner than traditional science methods. Harrison and Veronica bring their LegoScope table to various schools and events such as the Bay Area Science Festival to spark an interest in science with kids.

We are driven by the idea that when the best research, the best education and the best patient care converge, great breakthroughs are achieved. We pursue this excellence through our people. We are all UCSF, united by a driving passion to solve the most challenging health issues of our time and to redefine what's possible.Join the conversation atwww.ucsf.edu/oneUCSF.
