STEM Outreach at Clinton Community College:
RECENT UPDATES AND NEWS
Science Club recently sponsored a Girl Scout team in the Junior First Lego League competition. The competition was held at the University at Albany Saturday December 3, 2011.
The challenge this year was Snack Attack. The team investigated the process of how yogurt was made, packaged, and distributed to market. They developed a sorting table model using Legos that detected unsafe temperatures during storage and high fructose corn syrup. If either of these conditions were present, the sorting table flipped the yogurt into a bin preventing distribution and thus contributing to more safe and healthy foods at the store.
The "Yogurt Parfait Cafe" was a success at the competion and the team received the Most Explosive Award for their vivid description of their model and colorful poster presentation.
