Designed by researchers under the leadership of former CSP Investigator Jane Wissinger, the curricula titled “Thirst for a Solution: Alginate Biopolymer Experiments for the Middle and High School Classroom”, has been used again in 2024 by Hasselt University in an activity with High School students in Belgium.
The lab, built around the synthesis of biodegradable calcium alginate capsules prepared from food-safe chemicals, gained notoriety from local TV station and newspaper.
This is not the first time that the curriculum has been used abroad. In 2022, Assistant Professor Louis Pitet from Hasselt University, implemented the same activity with nearly 150 high school students.
