 BioEASI has been working with the Preuss School at UCSD to run workshops for their 8th grade Girls in STEAM club. This outreach combines fun “lab” activities with interactive lessons and will provide opportunities for the students to learn about the important roles of women in science! Our first workshop highlighted the science behind food!
Ten BioEASI volunteers gave guest lectures to five classes at a charter school in downtown San Diego called E3 Civic High School. The topic of the first series was using the scientific method to investigate microbial communities. For this experiment, different groups and combinations of bacteria/fungi were grown together. After a short lecture, the students Read more about BioCHEASI – Guest Lecture at E3 Civic High on the Microbes in Cheese[…]
