Looking for something for your science obsessed kid to do durring break? Or are you a homeschooling parent looking? I am a researcher at Upstate Algae Laboratory, organizing an educational workshop for high school and upper-middle-school age students on February 20th.
The workshop, held at Fairfield Inn & Suites on Wolf Rd in Albany, will feature two sessions at 10 am (6 slots left) and 2 pm(20 slots left), each lasting 4 hours.
The focus is on introducing students to algae and exploring their unique evolutionary story through a combination of short lectures and hands-on experiments.
The cost is $49 per student, and lunch/dinner will be provided.
Pre-registration is required, with a limit of 20 students per workshop.

During the workshop, participants will engage in activities such as extracting DNA from samples, measuring photosynthesis rates, extracting photosynthetic pigments, and identifying algal species.
The curriculum is designed for students with a basic understanding of biology, covering topics like cell structure, DNA, and photosynthesis.
Upstate Algae Laboratory is a non-profit organization.
Proceeds go towards our research programs and free math and science tutoring program we offer middle and high school students.
