Ok, that was fun! Seriously, we had eight youth come out and learn about bio-diesel through a hands on activity, which, by indirect observation, showed the creation of ethinol by fermenting corn syrup and local vegetation, specifically pin oak leaves. Pretty cool. Check out the link in the associated blog post for more information.
