IBC hosted on October 8th and 15th an event for kids 6-12 entitled: "KITCHEN LAB”. The kids had a blast extracting DNA from fruit, examining yeast cells under the microscope, testing yeast fermentation under different conditions, and tracking cell growth.
Within Scientifica26, IBC hosted twice the workshop: "KITCHEN LAB : Entdecke die Biochemie hinterunseren Lebensmitteln”. The workshops attracted diverse age groups who deeply enjoyed the extraction of DNA from fruits and looking at fungi and microorganisms under the microscope.
On April 16th and 23rd, IBC hosted two outreach events for high school classes (2A & 2B) from “Liceo di Mendrisio” in Ticino. It was an enriching experience for both students and IBC tutors who took a "deep dive"into DNA, mitosis, and yeast biology.
