We are always excited to bring fun activities into your elementary or middle school classroom or to host you in our lab for a fun demo. Please reach out!
PAINTING WITH FLUORESCENT BACTERIA
Use E.coli that can produce fluorescent proteins and design beautiful illustrations on a petri dish! In the process, learn how these bacteria were engineered to make fluorescent proteins of all colors of the rainbow! Colors include blue, turquoise, green, yellow, orange, and various shades of red.
SCIENCE CHILDREN’S BOOKS DESIGNED BY FIRST YEAR WRITING SEMINAR STUDENTS
We have a large and growing collection of children’s books on various STEM topics: Astronomy, Cell Biology, Physics, Ecology, Nutrition, Ecology, and more! We would be happy to visit your elementary classroom and read from our collection! During some Fall semesters, when Anastasia is teaching her First Year Writing Seminar, we are open to working with your class on designing science books on the topics of your students’ current interests!
