Feb. 27th KTU exhibitors!

"Coin Batteries" by VT Service Learning Students

This booth is modeled after the US Naval Academy STEM program ( www.usna.edu/stem ). Kids will build a coin battery using pennies, zinc washers, vinegar, salt and paper towels. Multimeters will be used to measure the voltage through the battery cell.

Corrosion is also an electrochemical process. It can occur when two different metals are immersed in salt water. The Navy must prevent corrosion on ships.

AND

"DNA Oragami" by VT Service Learning Students

At this booth the kids will create the double helix structure of DNA using only paper.

The Undergraduate students hosting this activity have been trained by KTU to faciliate this activity. These students are fulfilling service hours for their undergraduate classes.
