To increase awareness of synthetic biology within our community, GeneHackers has taught many younger students about genetic engineering and the natural sciences. This March, we collaborated with an on-campus group known as Women and Youth Supporting Each Other (WYSE). The members of WYSE act as mentors to students in a local middle school. GeneHackers accompanied them on a trip to this middle school, where we talked to the kids about studying and working in the sciences. At the end of the program, we taught the students how to extract DNA from strawberries, making sure to fully explain each step of the process. By demonstrating a DNA extraction using only a few household ingredients, we hoped to make DNA science seem more accessible and interesting in the eyes of the kids.
