Last month the team at FutureFuel spent the day at Old Independence Regional Museum here in Batesville and showcased several interactive science experiments, as part of the organization’s Food Science Day Camp program.

Dr. Beth Coles, Dr. Kayla DeNike, Melissa Tate, and Llena LaCombe used their creative chemistry to show summer campers how to make slushies and marshmallow edible slime. These hands on “experiments” provided a fun and engaging way to learn about science and laboratory techniques and offered a forum to answer questions from the inquisitive students.

“The amazing crew at FutureFuel brought science to life at Old Independence Regional Museum,” said Cathy M. Shonk, Director. “Our students thoroughly enjoyed the science experiments.”

“It is so inspiring to work with young people and demonstrate the power of experimentation using simple materials that they can relate to,” added Dr. Coles. “The team at FutureFuel had so much fun at the camp and look forward to supporting future events to help the next generation of students get excited about the unlimited possibilities of science.”

In addition to this community event at the Old Independence Regional Museum, FutureFuel supports many local, state, and national initiatives. Employees frequently volunteer their time and talent to organizations such as St. Jude, United Way, and Habitat for Humanity.
