Etch patterns on metal using saltwater and electricity.

Saltwater can corrode many metals, leaving them pitted and rough. Learn how to speed along the process with electricity, and rapidly etch a pattern onto stainless steel.

This program is part the Project Next Generation grant. Registration is required and space is limited. Please fill out the PNG Information sheet at bit.ly/PNG22information. This only needs to be done once per student per school year.

Funding for this grant was awarded by the Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
