MAUMEE, OHIO -- Sixteen local kids recently attended the week-long "Big Green Machine" program, an alternative science technology camp hosted by Owens Community College. And as you might imagine there was quite a bit of hands on material for everyone.
Dave Siravo is an instructor for Owens in the Workforce and Community Services Department. To these kids though, he's camp counselor. Siravo realizes the group he's working with represents the next generation, and he believes they need to lead the way with green technology.
The attendees learn about climate changes and the effects of greenhouse gases. The young scientists also conduct various experiments, collecting electrical energy to construct a water heater and solar oven. Of course there are some lifelong lessons to take away as well.
