Bioengineering

Step into the world of

genetic engineering in



this exciting, hands-

on summer camp!



Campers will

experiment with real

bioengineering

techniques as they

learn to modify plants

and bacteria at the

DNA level. Using

Agrobacterium, they’ll

insert plasmids into

Nicotiana tabacum

leaves, turning them

red through horizontal

gene transfer. They'll

also take genetic

engineering a step

further by planting a

jellyfish gene into

bacteria, making

them glow! As they

observe these

transformations,

campers will gain a

deeper understanding

of biotechnology,

gene expression, and the future of genetic science.
