Did you know: Gitanjali Rao at the age of 15 is the youngest scientist in the world. When Gitanjali was 10, she heard about the Flint, Michigan water crisis and became interested in ways to measure lead content in water. This led to her developing a device called Tethys based on carbon nanotubes that could send water quality information via Bluetooth. This week at AOFC our budding young scientists got to conduct lots of cool experiments like, magic milk, a lemon volcano, the Coke and Mentos experiment and finally on Friday everyone gets to take home their very own home science experiment kit and come up with the best experiment with the material provided. This week there were lots of squeals as well as ooh's and ahh's when the experiments were happening and finally that was awesome once the kids saw then end results! We hope this week sparked lots of young scientist to conduct their very own experiments using their imaginations and materials they find both in the classroom and at home!
