Biodiesel University is building a fleet of mobile educational laboratories that use biodiesel as the tangible example of a renewable energy technology. These cutting-edge mobile labs -- part classroom, part science museum, part theme park ride -- provide exciting hands-on learning experiences for middle- and high-school students encompassing the full “Bean, Beaker, Bang” biofuel lifecycle. This engaging learning experience is designed to inspire students to practice environmental stewardship in their own lives and pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers and entrepreneurial opportunities in renewable energy. Students and faculty from many disciplines in many institutions are collaborating to develop this extreme educational experience. Come learn about this exciting project and how you can get involved.
