Bouncing into Engineering



Here in Burlington, the future engineers of the world are first tackling the task of creating polymers and bioplastics that serve a purpose.  In this case, their mission required immense patience as they sought to develop the perfect recipe for bouncy balls that could provide any child with hours of endless fun.  After much trial and testing, the best bouncy balls emerged from the messy concoction of wet glue, borox, and water.  Meanwhile, the campers learned of the amazing polymer opportunities that lie within these simple products. 


Meet Squishy--a failed bouncy ball...but excellent class pet!!
