FDAIB Online Workshops for Science Week
We had a very busy semester delivering Fantastic DNA in a Box online workshops!
Fourth year project students Caoimhe Laheen and Shona Gahan delivered four sessions with the help of longstanding volunteer Angeline Anjani, including to Caoimhe's old primary school.
For Science Week, Sarah-Beth, Nora Medici Pasquali, and Clarisse Zigue delivered another 8 online sessions over the course of November. There were 24 boxes sent to schools in total. Some of these schools were returning from previous years, while for others it was their first Cell EXPLORERS workshop.
Massive thanks to our fourth year project students Caoimhe and Shona and volunteers Angeline, Nora, and Clarisse; as well as all the schools and pupils who participated in the workshops!
