Gann Academy in Waltham is excited to once again host the Boston University School of Medicine CityLab Biotechnology summer program. This program provides an opportunity for students to develop a deeper understanding of basic techniques and concepts related to DNA science. While working in teams, the students assume the role of a biotechnology company and work together to design and carry out an investigation to solve problems in biotechnology.
New this summer is the Solving Science Mysteries program designed for rising 7th, 8th and 9th graders. Students will solve problems by applying the same techniques and concepts of genetics and molecular biology used in modern research laboratories. Students will solve a crime scene mystery, test for genetic disorders and much more.
