SBP will be very hands-on with experiments, showing what we do in the lab, yet on lay-friendly level. We will have things for kids and adults to look at (last year it was Virtual reality glasses and proteins, and C.elegans - tiny worms) and be interactive with our scientist volunteers. (exact experiments TBD) We will also apply temporary DNA tattoos, and give out little lab coats. We will make the science exciting and interesting for all!

TBD. Most likely virtual reality or an interactive game.

Our flagship program, ART SCIENCE COMPLEX's "Imaginaria", is a project oriented, process based, thinking and learning platform--a living laboratory of imagination, sanctuary to nurture rampant creativity, to manifest one's own inventions and innovations--via drawing, building, painting, folding, writing, model making, reading, composing...

Math and logic type games and puzzles

What does real DNA look like? Come work with our volunteer scientists to discover the "stuff of life" shared by every organism on the planet!
