February in the Lab: Water Engineering with ReNUWIt
Join us in the Ingenuity Lab this February for a water engineering design challenge developed with ReNUWIt (Re-Inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure). Visitors can design, build, and test their own city that can handle stormwater runoff. Focus on water quantity and quality as you test your city design with storm simulations and pollutants. On certain days, there may also be ReNUWIt experts from UC Berkeley and Stanford University in the Lab to help you!
For our young engineers, we will be exploring the concepts of permeability and impermeability by testing different roofs for your mini house in the Explore and Play Area.
Can you keep your city from flooding? How can you replenish your city’s groundwater? Is your stormwater runoff clean enough for the pond? Visit us in the Ingenuity Lab to find out!
Ingenuity Lab Open Hours: Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m.- 4 p.m.* (Room 175, C-Level), Open Presidents Day (Monday, 02/20/17) 11 a.m.- 4 p.m
*Open from 12 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday, 02/12/17
