Posted under: Engineering , Research , Science , Technology , UW and the Community. Which is better for electrical storage: A potato, a lemon, an AA battery or a car battery? If you're curious, the answer to this question and more will be scattered around the University of Washington campus on Friday and Saturday, April 26-27, during the 2013 Engineering Discovery Days. Friday's events geared toward school-aged children are at capacity, but families and members of the UW community can stop by on Saturday to see the hands-on exhibits, meet research teams and visit various engineering labs. Saturday's program also includes presentations for high school students about each engineering department, admissions and financial aid, and women in science and engineering. The promenade along Rainier Vista and Drumheller Fountain will be filled with outdoor exhibits, and many of the engineering buildings will house the indoor displays. Look for old favorites such as the glowing pickle exhibit, homemade silly putty and flame movement demonstrations. You may also spot a water rocket, human-powered submarine and a life-sized robot.
