As many of you know, the oil is spreading  all over.  We would love for you to send in some ideas to help stop the oil from spreading.

Many people are out of jobs because of it, many sea creatures and the population in the ocean are being affected. It is brutually harming the enviroment like sea gulls and CORAL REEFS. As i have said before, it takes many, many, many years for a coral reef to grow. Also, many creatures eat and  live in and around the coral reef. Coral reefs are an important part of the food chain!

If you have any questions or comments please send i in the comment box!

Thank you,

Tell us how you utilized KSC in action!: Wow this was fun! My younger brother, Jack, and I are living in Africa so we don’t normally join many contests except for ones we find online. My 5th grade teacher showed my class the site in January. My project was BioInspired about how the bull frog’s expandable cheek molecules could be looked at and transformed into better purses and wallets. My brother had a hovering magnetic board idea for Sports on Mars. This was really fun and I can’t wait ’till next year!

Do you have any suggestions how engineers could best repair the leak and clean up the oil spill in the Gulf? Oil-eating bacteria?  Hair?  Please send in your ideas.
