Outreach

February 1, 2020

µFO organized one of three different science and engineering themed activities for high school aged girls from the Ann Arbor and greater Detroit areas. The students were given hands-on training in basic microfluidic design using paper microfluidics as a model. Students drew on coffee filter paper with crayons that were then placed on a hot plate to melt the wax through the paper creating a barrier to prevent water from flowing past. Students then used water with food coloring to visualize flow patterns and make fun and informative pictures out of their devices.
