BDDC researchers participated in the Science and Engineering Sunday event on November 13, 2016. The event takes place every year at the University of Guelph to help high school students, parents, teachers and guidance counselors learn more about the University’s engineering and science programs. The BDDC researchers displayed the outcomes of the R&D activities of the centre in the form of materials, products, and prototypes at two places on campus; the School of Engineering as well as the Department of Plant Agriculture. Several visitors interacted with the researchers from the BDDC and learned about the possibilities that natural fibres and bioplastics offer for the production of novel materials.
