Education In our Lab

During the course of the summer, our lab hosted a high school student, Justin Park, in our lab. He shadowed lab members and learned about the different procedures associated with synthetic biology. While we were sad to see him leave at the end of the summer, we really enjoyed being able to teach him so much about something that he didn't know much about. He was also one of our guests on our youtube channel. Click here to learn more about Justin's summer experience!



Engagement with our Community

    Marbles Kids Museum


      In addition to teaching Justin over the summer, our team also went into the local community to educate about synthetic biology. One of our programs centered around elementary students and getting them excited about DNA and biology. Our team made visits to the Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh where team members were Guest Star Scientists and taught kids how to make oragami DNA, candy DNA, and necklaces with DNA from wheat germ! Both the kids and our team had a truly DNAtastic time! For more information on our visits to the Marbles Kids Museum, click here


    High School Programs


    Another of our programs centered on using curriculum created during our collaboration with Gaston Day School, and East Chapel Hill High School (click here for more information on the collaboration) and used the curriculum on our college campus as well as in the local community. Our team had a really fun time not only educating our peers and our local community but also engaging with them about the ethical issues surrounding synthetic biology.
