Hands-On Activities
STEM Exploration Festival @ Mass STEM Week 2023
We returned to the Somerville Community Growing Center’s STEM Exploration Festival for a second time in fall 2023! Thank you again for having us and for giving us this opportunity to share our passion for STEM with students across the Somerville and Greater Boston area!
STEM Exploration Festival 2022
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.
Broad Institute Interview
We interviewed Daniel King, Associate Director of the Hail Team at the Broad Institute. Hail is an open-source library for scalable data exploration and analysis, with a particular emphasis on genomics. Check out the interview on our YouTube channel to learn more about Hail and Daniel’s work.
Cambridge Science Festival 2021
We’re thrilled to have been part of the 2021 Cambridge Science Festival for their virtual 30 Days of Science event. Check out our contribution: a tutorial on safely growing your own bacterial agar at home!
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!
