Join us to learn DNA barcoding and how LEGOs can simulate how scientists generate DNA sequences!About this Event
Calling all citizen scientists! Join us to contribute to global biodiversity databases, improve range maps, and help track species’ movements, as part of the DNA Learning Center’s Citizen DNA Barcode Network (CDBN). Extract DNA from an insect and use LEGOs to simulate how scientists generate DNA sequences to catalogue biodiversity around the world!
In this session, participants will
- build “DNA Barcodes” out of LEGOs;
- simulate DNA sequencing using a LEGO sequencer;
- learn how DNA barcoding is used to identify living things;
- isolate DNA that will be sequenced and published to a worldwide database!
Ages 10-13, one adult chaperone required. Chaperones must purchase tickets and participate fully in all program activities.
