On September 6th, Bill Nye The Science Guy came to our University to give a talk. The University decided to throw a science fair for the kids. We set up our rice catching game and taught the public how iRICE could, dare we say it, CHANGE THE WORLD!
The Vitamin Catching Game
In our pursuit to help the public understand what we are doing, we created a game that demonstrates how we are binding vitamins to rice. With a swimming noodle, velcro ball catchers, and a few tennis balls, we have created a rice grain that will grab onto our vitamin tennis balls.
On September 8th, Team Nevada presented their research to the public at the CABNR's Valley Road Field Day. We taught children the roles of various organelles in the cell with the use of jello and candies.
