The week-long program kicked off with students at the P&G Winton Hill Business Center offices where Bounty employees shared perspective on their careers and conducted interactive product demonstrations to help the students understand the science behind papermaking. From there, students went back to their classrooms to begin work on challenge activities, including Super Soaker, Weight Lifter, Skyscraper and Eggstravagant. Each project will engage the students to help them learn fundamentals of scientific data collection and analysis.
