"Thank you so much for coming to our school. I had so much fun, and the solar cars were so cool. I’m going to look into studying other types of energy. Thank you again!"
Mimi Koehl calls herself a nature mechanic. She is a biomechanist, which is someone who studies how living things work
physically. In one of her studies she wondered how sea anemones could withstand high-powered waves. She had a question
and set out to answer it, that
is what science is all about. Read her story and then become a biomechanist yourself and make your own Stretch-O-Meter
so you can measure the stretch factor of things in and around your home. Boys dont worry you can try this too!
