Olathe North Students + Brains = The Energy of Science
The Battle of the Brains contest, sponsored by Burns & McDonnell, was designed to encourage practical, scientific thinking in young people. The assignment was to create an interactive, science-based exhibit to boost participation at Science City while teaching applied scientific principles.
Olathe North students, including Kendra Schuette (niece of our owner Sara Croke), designed The Science of Energy.

Jump on the massive hamster wheel for an easy ride to better understand what it takes for all of us to enjoy the privilege of energy.
Congratulations to sponsor, Burns & McDonnell, the winning team of Olathe North Students and Science City for balancing the equation.
FUN + SCIENCE = Innovative Learning
