WCMS 6th-grade scholars had the privilege of exploring the North Carolina Central University campus. Their adventure was centered around the BRITE (Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise) program. During this visit, they engaged in a fascinating activity where they extracted their own DNA. This experience culminated in an insightful debriefing session where they discussed how a long strand of DNA fits within a nucleus, the reasons behind using sports drinks over water, the role of lysis solutions in disrupting the cell membrane, and the factors that make DNA visible in the lysate. To commemorate this experience, they crafted necklaces containing their DNA to share with their parents and guardians. Additionally, the scholars participated in a Pipette Challenge, honing their skills in accurately picking up tips and samples. This excursion was an excellent opportunity for our students to dive into hands-on learning, offering them an early glimpse into the world of biomanufacturing and research. #HandsOnLearning #EarlyExposure
