Agar Art (Grades 5-8)

Grades 5–8

Join us for some STEAM!

Traditional laboratory techniques used by scientists to study the world on both a macroscopic and microscopic scale can also be used to make interesting works of art! In this session, you will create unique images using genetically engineered glowing bacteria as your “paint” and agar Petri dishes as your “canvas.”

Seats are limited to 8 students per class and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Parents will receive an email prior to registered programs with instructions for drop off and daily health surveys.

The DNALC is committed to providing a safe place for hands-on science. Depending on prevailing circumstances and CDC and New York State Health Department guidelines, our COVID-19 Safety Net provides for distanced workstations, individual equipment, daily health surveys and temperature monitoring, and weekly COVID-19 testing of instructors.
