One week TEEN RESEARCH PROGRAM for entering Grades 7-8-9. Price: $995/$895
Are you interested in gene editing and other innovations that can help people with chronic diseases and other conditions? In this program, you will deepen your knowledge of body systems, investigate how some of these systems may break down, and explore how scientists and engineers are working to solve these problems. Together we will use actual diagnostic techniques to solve medical mysteries for fictitious patients. Dissect a simulated heart, step inside a blood vessel and a cell in our Planetarium, and interview practicing doctors to learn more about their field. Also, learn about CRISPR, a current gene-editing technology, and acquire skills for designing and prototyping a prosthetic hand.
