Exploring Genes: A Hands-On Workshop on Genetic Constructs and Cell Division

Join us for the Virginia iGEM Workshop #2 designed for high school students, where we delve into the fascinating world of genetics! This session focuses on the structure of genes, Biobrick components, and the role of FtsZ in minicell formation. Students will participate in hands-on activities, including DNA extraction, to better understand genetic constructs and synthetic biology principles. Equipped with knowledge from key literature, participants will engage with interactive case studies and fun experiments that illustrate the foundations of genetic engineering.
