Impossible Metals Tour
May 21 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
mpossible Metals is an innovative start-up company founded in 2020 with a mission to deliver responsible seabed mining and refining of critical battery metals, enabling the world’s transition to sustainable energy. As mining continues to play a vital role in a circular economy, the transition to green energy demands more minerals. In the face of this demand, responsible seabed mining will contribute to a truly sustainable transition to circularity.
Impossible Metals was co-founded by Oliver Gunasekara, an entrepreneur with 30-plus years of experience, and Jason Gillham, a subsea technology entrepreneur with 18 years of experience in the subsea robotics industry. The company is developing technology in two key areas: Selective harvesting of marine minerals and mineral processing using bacterial respiration. Impossible Metals is building underwater robotics vehicles which collect polymetallic nodules from the seabed while protecting the seafloor ecosystem. The polymetallic nodules are rocks that are rich in critical battery metals, such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are the most expensive parts of electric vehicles.

Grease is the word as the Broadway phenomenon that inspired one of the most successful movie musicals of all time hits the stage. Get out your leather jackets, pull on your bobby socks, and get ready to hand jive as the slick Burger Palace Boys and sassy Pink Ladies enter their senior year at Rydell High in 1959.

Featuring unforgettable mega-hit songs like “You’re The One That I Want,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” “Beauty School Dropout,” “Sandy,” “We Go Together,” and many more, Grease is an ‘electrifyin’ musical extravaganza that will make you want to stand up and shout, “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bam-boom!”
