Shoreline Community College recently held their annual STEM festival and science fair for the 6th year running. SouldBio was happy to participate for a 3rd year in a row. This time, our outreach volunteers decided to host a filtration challenge.

This challenge is a fun brain teaser, as kids and adults must figure out how to separate rice from 3 other ‘contaminants’ using a variety of tools. Everyone approaches the problem differently, but eventually, by using various attributes of the contaminants, they figure it out. Our booth was very busy and we hope the kids had a blast! SoundBio couldn’t participate in these types of events without our volunteers - We’d like to thank Kyle Shanafelt and Christiana Doulami for their support in running this event.

If you like to engage the public to share your scientific expertise, please consider joining us! We’d love to hear from you!
