DNA and gummi bears

Here in the sweet and colourful workshop we use gummi bears to write the genetic code. A code system of four symbols is used by nature to encode the genetic info in DNA, which we know from biology books as a complicated procedure. Actually it's not as complicated at all, as we can playfully prove by using gummi bears. Moreover, you can secretly eat the leftovers... Genetic engineering is only one step away from DNA model made of gummi bears. You can also learn about the birth story of a peculiar (tailored transgenic) mouse.

This workshop is suitable for everyone who is interested in genetics.


DNA and gummi bears is sponsored by Haribo
