SciVentures: ROVing the Universe
In this SciVentures program, you will learn about the limits of exploration and why scientists use Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in places too extreme for humans. Work in teams to learn about the limits of ROV exploration and the foundations of ROV science, then design ROV solutions to complete “Mars” and “Ocean” challenges modeled on real-world missions. Finally, construct with your team your own ROV from scratch and complete a series of challenges to test your design skills.

SciVentures: Science of Slices
Some say that the secret to good pizza is in the sauce, but the secret is really in the science! From the ingredients to the oven, explore the chemistry and techniques behind making cheese, mixing the dough, cooking sauce and preparing toppings. Learn what gluten is and how it helps pizza, taste-test cooked sauce and raw sauce and investigate the differences between local, fresh ingredients and mass-produced ingredients. Morehead’s kitchen is your lab!
