arisiaHelp build DNA LEGO kits for Boston Public Schools!
Since a lot of Arisia folks are interested in science education, I thought this might be for interest. This work session is part of a larger project that has been going on for several months to prepare teaching materials for the Boston public schools. If you can help, please contact Kathy directly, her email is below.
Kathy Vandiver of the MIT Edgerton Center Outreach Program and the MIT
Museum needs volunteers to help prepare tRNA LEGO kits for Boston
Public Schools!
A number of LEGO kits still need to be constructed for several
different genes to have materials ready for an upcoming project
deadline. This job will require a little Bio brain cell activity!
And some Krazy Glue, which will be provided!
What: Assembly of LEGO tRNA molecules
When: Monday, March 21, 2011 @ 6:00 - 9:00 pm
Where: 56-202 (CEHS conference room)
Please e-mail: kathymv@mit.edu
To watch a great video animation about DNA LEGOs, go to:

There will other work sessions in the future as Lego DNA sets are assembled for other area school districts. There are a works sessions scheduled on April 2, 2011 through People Making Difference, an organization that assembles groups of volunteers to provide manpower for Boston-area non-profit organizations. To sign up for the April 2 session, go to www.pmd.org for information.
