STEM Innovations in Schools

The STEM Innovations in Schools program, presented by Chevron, has launched the “Carbon Capture Challenge.” Space Center Houston is leading the challenge with expert panelists from Chevron, NASA Johnson Space Center, and Greentown Labs. The mission is to expand students’ and educators’ awareness of the challenges and opportunities to develop a lower carbon future.

What is carbon capture?
Carbon Capture or Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) is the process by which carbon is captured from a source before or after it enters the atmosphere. The CO2 is then transported and “permanently stored underground or reused to produce new products such as cement, chemicals, plastics, and fuels (Amber Sturrock, 2022).”

How can I help?
“As a collective, we can all make an impact.” – Juliana Garaizar
Creating a healthy and sustainable planet is not a problem for the next generation, but an opportunity for the current generation to actively become a part of the solution. Strategizing and developing ideas, like our students, can fuel innovations in the future. Even minor changes, such as carpooling or walking to work or school, can reduce your carbon footprint.
