Join us for an exciting exploration into the world of molecular biology! In this hands-on STEM course, students will learn about the building blocks of life and discover how scientists use cutting-edge tools to study living organisms at the molecular level. We’ll begin by exploring genetic sequences and how they form the DNA blueprint of life. Students will use simple techniques like DNA extraction to observe DNA under the microscope. They will also explore the role of genes and how they influence traits. Next, students will dive into cell biology, learning how cells grow, divide, and interact. Using a centrifuge, they will separate different parts of the cell and understand how scientists isolate DNA or proteins for study. Students will also get hands-on experience using a spectrophotometer to measure the concentration of substances in solution, helping them understand how scientists quantify molecules like DNA or proteins. Students will also be introduced to the exciting world of AI in biology. Using the AI instrument to measure cell viability, students will discover how artificial intelligence can help scientists understand how healthy cells are and predict cell behavior, offering insight into disease research and treatments. Throughout the course, students will experience the thrill of working with real laboratory equipment, including the cell culture lab, where they will learn how cells are grown and studied in a controlled environment. This hands-on, inquiry-based approach will provide students with a deeper understanding of the connection between biology and technology. This course is perfect for young minds interested in how cells work, how scientists study life on a molecular level, and how technology is revolutionizing our understanding of biology. Get ready for a day of experimentation, discovery, and hands-on learning!
