In this interactive workshop with Genspace, you’ll use household materials and “kitchen science” to extract DNA from strawberries, explore the microscopic world, and engage with a biodesign touch table. This is a beginner workshop, no prior experience in design required to participate. This program is suitable for adults and children ages 5 and up.
