We hope everyone is having a great Tuesday! Last week at EIS, the students participated in Ecology/Photography, Engineering, Biology, and 3D Printing! We also had a great presentation from Illumina about genetics and DNA! The students were able to extract the DNA from strawberries and learned about how DNA makes all of us unique. Shout out to our former instructors Caitlin and Erin for stopping by with Illumina to visit!
