Introduction to DNA’ for primary pupils

Description

On the 7^th and 8^th of July, six staff and ambassadors from Coventry University ran a fun and interactive DNA activity for children age 7-11 and their families. The activity took place at the Coventry FabLab in the city centre. The idea behind the DNA workshop is to give the community an opportunity to have free family science activities. The event has allowed 7-11 years old to do hands-on activities related to Molecular Biosciences, with the support of their families. It has been shown recently that students lose an interest in Science at an early age. We aim to promote the positive side of Molecular Biosciences and by facilitating support from the family will create a buzz for the future
