1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

This class is a must for all mad scientists! During this 2-hour class, students will learn how genetic elements can be moved from one organism to another. Vince will walk the group through taking a gene for a fluorescent protein from a jellyfish and putting it into a bacteria. Students will make their own genetically modified organism! Ages 12 and up recommended (although this is not a strict limit), no biology background necessary.

About Victoria Makerspace

Makerspace is a member-operated, shared space where people can come together and collaborate while sharing tools, resources and knowledge. One tool can be effectively duplicated many times over by sharing it, in the same way that someone’s learning experiences may be shared.

Non-members can take any class available on our website. It’s a good way to try out some of the equipment or check out new technology. If you want to spend more time on the machine after the class, you can come by to one of our Tuesday evening open house events (Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 pm) or sign up for a membership.
