STEM Exploration Festival

We had such a fun time running a table at the 2022 STEM Exploration Festival hosted by the Somerville Community Growing Center for Mass STEM Week 2022! Thank you so much to everyone involved for having us and providing us with a wonderful opportunity to meet people from across the Greater Boston community.

Cambridge Science Festival 2022

We’re beyond excited to have hosted two events at the in-person Cambridge Science Festival this year! We had so much fun getting students involved with DNA extraction from fruit and basic micropipetting skills. Check out our events plus other awesome STEM events from organizations across the city at the link below.

Biotech & Global Health Outreach is making science accessible by allowing students to experiment with microbes.

Through our Agar Art classes, BGHO and BosLab plan to spark students’ interest in science by letting them experiment with the fruits of biotechnology: genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

 

BGHO x BosLab

BGHO and BosLab, a Cambridge-based community lab, are collaborating to reach out to schools around the Greater Boston Area to teach students about what one can accomplish with science. Check out BosLab’s website below to learn more about this awesome organization!
