"GENE-IUSES ON A MISSION"
ATTENTION PARENTS & STUDENTS: The Biotechnology Outreach Program is inviting elementary aged students (Gene-iuses!) to join them on Saturdays to let out the sensational scientist inside them!
What is Saturday Gene-iuses?
Our Saturday Gene-iuses sessions are a spin-off from our original Gene-ius Day field trips for elementary schools. Each Saturday Gene-iuses Mission brings students and their parents onto campus for 2 hours of exciting, engaging activites that encourage scientific thinking and appreciation for all things science related. Each session is organized by grade level (grades 1 to 3 and grades 4 to 6) and focuses on a specific science related theme (DNA, cells, forensics, agriculture, and much more). Our Saturday Gene-iuses session can accomodate up to 24 students/chaperones.
The program runs all year long and offers six exciting missions to choose from. Each one takes place in a laboratory setting and promises awesome science experiments and activities! Begin your scientific adventure on any one of the six missions… will you start as a CSI on MISSION 4 or become a bug expert on MISSION 3?
