It arrived in villages and farms (by spontaneous invitation) where farmers, producers, and vendors gathered to discuss their perspectives on the changing rural landscape.]]> 2020-03-22 16:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/469824742 FUTURE FARMERS (founder 1995) nicolegarretthoppe https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/469842408 Research, Collaborate, Design with...

Currently, scientists are using algae to produce hydrogen and have discovered that it is a viable renewable energy form, in that algae is everywhere and it could also be used to produce biodiesel. One of the main hurdles for the research is to find the most productive strains of algae. Since there are potentially millions of strains, this task is monumental.

Lunchbox Laboratory is a prototype for a potentially distributed research tool that would be sent to schools such that young scientists could do a primary screening of a collection of algae strains. This would serve as a preliminary screening such that non-productive strains would be ruled out and only productive strains would reach labs. This project enables students to participate in big science as well as network with other students nationwide to compare notes.]]> 2020-03-22 20:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470062059 Influence nicolegarretthoppe https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470082940 2020-03-22 21:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470082940 Awards nicolegarretthoppe https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470083093 2020-03-22 21:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470083093 Teaching Goal nicolegarretthoppe https://padlet.com/nicolegarretthoppe/vz290jynnd0i/wish/470086204 "Sensitize students to the interaction
