Come join in for Genome Day, a day of hands-on science activities about genomes, genes, DNA, and evolution.
Illinois scientists will offer activities related to genomics, including learning how organisms relate to each other on the Tree of Life, extracting strawberry DNA to make necklaces, and understanding how genomics pervades every aspect of our daily lives.
While many activities are designed with K-8 students in mind, almost all can be adapted for everyone from toddlers to senior citizens.
To learn more about The Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) please visit their website.
Please remember that events may be canceled or rescheduled last minute due to unpredictable weather or other factors. We encourage you to reach out to event organizers before heading out to an event to verify it is still happening.
