S.T.E.M. Oil Slick Slurp

Date & Time

2/2/2013
9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Max number of participants: 48

The earth has many sources of energy. From renewable sources like the sun and the wind…to non-renewable ones like coal and oil. In the Oil Spill program girls will create their own model of an ocean, river, or lake and allow an oil spill to occur. They will investigate many different materials and attempt to contain and clean up the spill. In the end they will have first hand thoughts about oil and the environment around them.

This unique FREE S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) program is being offered by the University of Louisville Campus Society of Women Engineers. We hope that you will take advantage of this wonderful experience and sign up early as space is limited. This is a girl only program. Troop leaders and parents are welcome to stay but will not be able to participant in the activities.
