We’ve been known for 75 years as experts in materials sciences and engineering. To celebrate, our next material of choice for research and development is… ice cream! Ames Laboratory, in partnership with the Iowa State University Creamery, is asking Ames Lab employees to contribute their best and most creative ideas to invent an ice cream flavor that will help us celebrate 75 years as a National Laboratory! The highest scoring entry will be launched by the ISU Creamery, and served at our State of the Laboratory picnic in May. Ice cream flavor designers may create their entries theoretically (on the computer) or experimentally (in the kitchen), but either way, these guidelines apply:
-
The deadline to submit ideas is 11:59 p.m Friday, March 4, 2022
-
Individuals and teams may submit ideas
-
A panel of ice cream experts from ISU Creamery and Director Adam Schwartz will serve as judges
-
Ice cream concepts will be judged on fit to Ames Lab anniversary theme, and feasibility of production
-
The prize is victory, and a quart of ice cream for each winning entrant.
