The BOAT team of Gangjin High School stands for ‘Base of all thing,’ meaning ‘the foundation of everything.’ Through this selection, the BOAT team will receive 4 million won in funding to conduct their research.
This club is composed of students who wish to pursue science or engineering fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science. The students selected for the Nobel Camp are second-year students Son Do-young, Kim Eun-jung, Lee Hyun-ho, and Lee Yoon-sung, with teacher Choi Yoon-jung as their advisor.
The club team plans to appoint Professor Kim Tae-young from Chosun University, an environmental engineering expert, as an external advisory member to receive various consultations.
The BOAT team decided to learn how to culture yeast mold and verify whether the cultured mold can be converted into electrical energy, researching its potential as a future eco-friendly alternative energy source.
Additionally, they will conduct research on producing electrical energy using bacteria, as well as generating electrical energy from wastewater or food waste.
