Assemble to Assemble Amino Acids!
Dr. Kathy Vandiver is a world leader in the creation of tactile learning kits that teach young students fundamental scientific concepts. One of Kathy’s kits teaches about proteins, and one of the ‘ingredients’ is amino acids which need to be preassembled. You are encouraged to join this fun workshop where you will help to assemble kit components while learning about communicating science to the next generation.
