We’re excited to announce our Polymers, Plastics, and Sustainability Workshop as part of the STEM Pathways for Girls Monthly Workshops! This hands-on workshop is perfect for 5th-8th grade students who identify as female, nonbinary, or non-gender-conforming and are eager to explore the fascinating world of polymers and sustainability.
About the Workshop: Led by Dr. Hannah Dedmon, a Polymer Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, where she uses advanced computer technologies to uncover how polymers can improve our world. Students will: - Discover what polymers are through interactive demos and learn where they occur in nature. - Grow their own polymer chains from seaweed. - Extract polymers from strawberries. - Create plastics from biobased/plant materials.
Students will also discuss the challenges of recycling plastics and explore eco-friendly alternatives to help improve our world!
