Have you ever seen DNA in real life? Ever wondered what it is and how it works? In this interactive workshop, you’ll use household materials and “kitchen science” to extract DNA from strawberries with Genspace, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting science literacy through citizen access to biotechnology.
This is an exposure-level workshop suitable for teens and college students; no prior experience in design is needed to participate.
