April STEM Exploration
Chemistry: A Path to Creative Problem Solving Leading to Patents
Date: Monday, April 12, 2021
Time: 10:00-11:00 a.m.
Details: With the problems facing the world our neighborhoods and even at home we must look for creative solutions that minimize impact on the environment, cost and accessibility. Even those of us that are socially conscious can benefit from patents that allow us to practice our ideas. We will review how STEM is a continuum of problem identification and solving as an attempt to better understand and explain the world around us. We will practice identifying some problems and how to use some samples of bio mimicry to help understand how mechanical and biological systems have been and continue to be exploited.
