Students attend engineering and science sessions

Some 216 students from 30 US states, as well as India, Greece and Dubai have participated in the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's 43rd Operation Catapult summer education program.

Students attending the two 16-day sessions in June and July were able to take part in numerous activities including hands-on projects, lectures and field trips to learn about engineering and science.

Among them this year were pupils from Terre Haute North High School who attempted to create biodiesel using microalgae. The students designed and built a bioreactor to grow lipid-producing algae, before converting it to diesel.
