The ICE-T Project

In this initiative of The Citizen Science Lab, High School Youth will learn the computational and experimental techniques required to examine the physiology, biochemistry, and voltage potential of microbial fuel cells (MFC), a living battery made powered by bacteria. Once participants learn the basics they will then build and create their own device powered by these living batteries.

Skills Learned:

  • Technical Design and Troubleshooting
  • Creating Agar and Microbial Growth Media
  • Electrical Measurement and Analysis
  • Soldering
  • Laboratory Sanitization
  • Culturing Microbes
  • Tool Usage
