Wind-Powered Elevator Challenge

Participants build a working model of a windmill that lifts a load, like an elevator! They will discover how the wind is used to create green, sustainable energy.

Health Sciences

Solar Bead Bracelets

Participants will learn about how we can harness the power of the Sun to generate electricity. They will create a fun craft to help remember sun safety!

Physics

Water Dam

This demonstration shows how water pressure can be used to generate hydroelectricity.

Engineering

Water Wheel

Participants will learn about how the movement of water can be used to create electricity!

Chemistry

Feedstock Fermentation

Participants conduct an experiment on fermentation to learn how biofuels are created!
