Youth will learn how to use the microscope, create wet mount slides and identify structures under the microscope. Also draw what they are viewing beneath the microscope. The skills acquired can help prepare youth for careers in science, forensics, labs, and healthcare.
Participants will explore the human body and learn the parts of the body in this hands-on lab. Participants are introduced to the major organs, bones, muscles and more. Youth will also view anatomical structures through the microscope.
Get introduced to the major systems of the human body in this hands-on lab that is chock full of organ dissections. We will also explore the human skeletal system. youth will also view anatomical structures through the microscope.
The experiments stress the relevance of molecular biology and to the study of physiology and disease. Students learn how proteins are separated on the basis of charge by electrophoresis. With this information, they perform a series of experiments aimed at illustrating the importance of technique in biology and medicine.
Participants will explore the world of microbes, identify bacteria types, learn aseptic techniques and how to make media to grow bacteria.
Skills acquired: Microscope usage
Media preparation - Bacteria Identification - Aseptic techniques - Microbiology Terminology - math computation
Participants will learn about bacteria and viruses, the constituents of blood, learn environmental bacteria collection techniques, and proper hand hygiene in this hands-on lab.
Youth will learn how to measure using common instruments (beakers, flasks, graduated cylinders, scales, micropipettes, etc.x) found in labs, learn about the periodic table, lab protocols, molecules and explore food science in this introductory chemistry lab.
Youth learn about DNA, Chromosomes, Karyotyping and perform a DNA extraction in this hand-on lab. Youth also learn lab protocols and use materials commonly found in labs.
Participants will explore the causes of diseases, examine body organs for diagnostic and forensic purposes and learn normal vital sign ranges and blood count levels.
Genetic engineering involves modifying an organism’s DNA to deliberately change an aspect of the organism for a particular purpose. Experiments demonstrate the power of the CRISPR Cas9 system by modifying the genomic DNA of a strain of a nonpathogenic bacteria so that it can grow and survive in conditions it normally would not be able to.
Youth will explore ocean zones, water testing and environmental toxicology in this hands-on lab.
Youth will analyze food via spectrometry and collects data for the graphical determination of results in this hands-on advance lab. Participants will also learn lab protocols.
This camp is designed for participants to explore the world of biotechnology. Participants will learn skill sets that include: Lab safety, problem-solving and strategic thinking, teamwork, communication, research, gel electrophoresis, PCR, Forensics and Genetic Engineering.
Participants will learn analytical and critical thinking skills with the infusion of Chinese practices. The approach will require students to practice beyond the lab to increase understanding.
