The Lyle Center is hosting a biodiesel challenge this Saturday, February 28th, for The Ambassadors, a reality-based t.v. show sponsored by the Green Institute for Village Empowerment (GIVE), where 12 high school students team up to face environmental challenges. In an elimination-style format - think Project Runway only instead of fashion, these students will face real-life environmental sustainability challenges. One student will walk away with the title of "Ultimate Ambassador" and a $50,000 scholarship.
Each week the students will be given a different challenge and will be assessed individually but compete in groups. Their challenge at the Lyle Center will be a "cook book" style of biodiesel production from algae oil.
The show will air on KVCR. Watch for it this Spring 2009 and stop by to see the filming this Saturday!
