Become a DNA detective in this fun, hands-on family workshop!
About this Event

"Become a DNA Detective in this hands-on family workshop! Build a candy DNA model, discover how traits are inherited, and extract real DNA from your own body. Caregivers and students explore science together through approachable experiments and group reflection — no science background needed!

Families leave with take-home materials to repeat activities at home and local STEM resources. Learning is reinforced through real-time questioning and discussion that make abstract concepts accessible and meaningful for all ages."
