Genome Day - a day of education with the Institute for Genomic Biology
Genome Day was a day of learning about genomes, genes, DNA, and evolution at the Orpheum Children #39;s Science Museum in Champaign, Illinois in November of 2012. Members of the Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) from the University of Illinois welcomed over 460 attendees, who participated in the 16 different activities such as investigating planarian flatworms, learning how organisms relate to each other on the Tree of Life, extracting strawberry DNA to make necklaces, and dancing with plants on the big screen. As part of the outreach mission of the IGB to promote activities and undertake projects targeted to engage K-12 students as well as the east-central Illinois community with the University of Illinois, events such as Genome Day strive to present the key concepts of the research taking place at the IGB, in an approachable manner for all ages. Our thanks to all the volunteers and to everyone who participated.From:IGBIllinoisViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:44More inScience Technology
