Event Details

Curiosity Labs is a series sponsored by MilliporeSigma Corporation that connects their scientists with Mead Public Library patrons. Attendees will be treated to themed science presentations and will participate in hands-on group experiments.

MilliporeSigma is a global life science and high technology company that has a local branch in Sheboygan Falls. With the belief that corporations have a responsibility to be good citizens in their communities, we have strong commitments in the areas of scientific research and economic development through science and STEM education. While we support many STEM programs and organizations around the world, we have also created our own program called Curiosity Labs.

DNA science is used every day in our world, and research to cure diseases like arthritis and cancer depend on it. Everyone has heard of it, and everyone has it, but what is it? In this activity students will learn about the structure and function of DNA.

Preregistration is required.  Open to ages 8-adult; children under 12 must be registered with an adult.
