Students will learn about electrochemistry, renewable energy, and circuits through an interactive lab in which they can build a potato circuit. Students will be able to get hands on circuits experience exposing them to basic electrochemistry and physics, and will learn how easy it is power simple electronics. Students will also learn about the theory of how batteries and specifically a potato battery work.

Students will be creating their own centrifuge in order to investigate the behaviors of particles under centrifugal force and how this is used in the field of blood donations and processing. Our goal is to promote blood donations, especially during the current shortage, by demystifying the procedure itself and explaining the fascinating phenomena that occur while processing blood. By creating their own centrifuge, students will be able to apply engineering principles to ensure their product works properly, and then can explore the laws of physics through the utilization of it.
