  • Team Dishari had a blast at 2022 Columbus STEM camp engaging 75 middle schoolers in chemistry and nanoscience activities and teaching how batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers work. Thanks, Nebraska EPSCoR, for inviting us. The survey comment: “I really want to study Chemical Engineering” stole our hearts!
