Outreach: Summer Experience in Genetics in collaboration with Iowa City BASP programs

Our lab is leading the Summer Experience in Genetics as part of the Science Engagement Facilitator Program in the University of Iowa.

Our aim is to:

  1. Expose elementary school children to Genetics concepts in order to facilitate the understanding of basic science through play.
  2. Train undergraduate and graduate students in science communication.

We do this through collaboration with the Iowa City Before and After School Program (BASP) summer camp. Training is done in collaboration with Lori Adams, Professor of Instruction and Director of the Iowa Sciences Academy.
