Family STEAM Night: National DNA Day

In 2003, Congress dedicated April 25 as National DNA Day to celebrate the anniversary of the Human Genome Project's completion (2003) and the anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix (1953). On April 27 at Family STEAM Night, we will recognize some of the historical achievements while learning about the structure of DNA. We will extract DNA from fruits, make a DNA 'monster', create a DNA sequence out of candy, and more!

Drop in anytime between 4:00 - 6:00 to join The Science Zone for Free Family STEAM nights every Thursday! We provide STEAM enrichment activities that encourage family participation. There will be fun hands-on activities for families of all ages!

There's something for everyone! This is a drop in activity. There is no need to pre-register, and we invite you to stay for a little or as long as you would like.

Family STEAM activities are free. (Occasionally we'll have small supply fees - these dates will be announced beforehand). Admission to Museum Exhibits is $5. Free Family STEAM nights are one of the ways that AmeriCorps members are making a difference in our community. Funding for this work is provided by America’s Service Commissions’ grant from the Mott Foundation, and provided by ServeWyoming.
