About this Event

Bioluminescent dinoflagellates are microscopic algae that glow blue in the dark! 🌟

In this workshop, we will create a living dinoflagellate grow orb. We will inoculate a grow vessel with these microorganisms and feed them. We will also set up LED lights with a timed photoperiod. Dinoflagellates need a strict light/dark cycle to maintain their circadian rhythms. πŸ’€

When swirled at night, dinoflagellates glow bright blue! This is perfect for magical Halloween fun and could be a prop for your costume! πŸŽƒ

Participants will take home a kit that includes:
πŸ¦• Living bioluminescent dinoflagellates
πŸ¦• Flask with oxygen exchange filter as the mini aquarium
πŸ¦• Outlet timer for your at home lamp (no lamp included but the outlet timer is 3 pronged and is compatible with all lamps. Use LEDs or CFLs only because they emit minimal hear. Most other lights produce too much heat and K*ll the dinos. )

This is a family-friendly event so we have tiered pricing! Event tickets are $60 per adult. $30 per youth 18 and under with valid student ID. Youth must be accompanied by their guardian.
