UF Chemical Engineering Lab Field Trip!

This letter will be coming home today along with a Permission Slip for the field trip.

Parents of SECME students,
As many of you know we are approaching the SECME competition rather quickly.  I will send additional information about our coming schedule relating to the competition.  That is coming soon. I will also be posting information to my blog http://mresscience.blogspot.com/ if you need to refer without finding these papers.
We have an action-packed month ahead, so please check regularly to stay up to date.
Thanks!
Mister E  Lenasbunt
Field Trip:
On Thursday January 27 SECME is scheduled to visit the UF Department of Chemical Engineering Lab.  We will learn about Biomimetics and get to experience and learn about a working lab, researchers, and lab tools.  This experience will be invaluable for our budding young scientists! A big thanks to Professor Peng Jiang (Helena’s Dad) for hosting us on this trip and providing crystal samples for our club to form and study.
Logistics:
-All students must have a signed and returned permission slip by next Thurs. 1/20.  If they do not have permission forms they will get on their normal bus or go to parent pick up instead.
-We will leave campus on a school bus at 1:30 and return at 3:30. Please pick up your students at school in the normal location from 3:30-3:45 (as usual).
-The field trip is free thanks to UF and Professor Jiang!
-If you would like chaperone please let me know in advance so we can make sure we have all volunteer forms and necessary information on file.

Biomimicry or biomimetics is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems.
