About
DNA Learning Center Science Camps and Programs include in-person lab field trips, hands-on labs in state-of-the-art laboratory classrooms, museum tours, and Saturday DNA! programs. The program offers camps and courses on topics such as Fun with DNA, Genome Science, and Forensic Detectives, as well as virtual science camps on genetics and inheritance, PCR, and electrophoresis. Participants can also access DNALC LIVE! video programming on topics including Bacteria and Antibiotics, Diversity of Life: Plant and Animal Cells, and DNA Restriction Analysis, along with student research programs, citizen science projects using DNA barcoding, and educator training workshops in biotechnology and genetics.
• Schedule: The Dolan DNA Learning Center is open to the public Monday–Friday, 10 am–4 pm, and is closed on Saturday and Sunday except on Saturdays when Ötzi tours or Saturday DNA! programs are offered.
DNA Learning Center Science Camps and Programs are part of a world-renowned organization that has been advancing genetics education through laboratory experiences for students and educators since 1988. Over the last 35+ years, more than 750,000 middle and high school students have taken part in its hands-on approach to molecular biology and genetics education. The organization also offers science camps at four DNALC locations, virtual and in-person options for field trips and camps, and extended lab experiences where students can cover Advanced Placement Biology lab techniques. DNALC media provides educational, media-rich sites and animations on topics ranging from cancer to eugenics, and lab and bioinformatics sites on topics from human origins to RNA-sequencing. Community involvement includes the DNALC Partners in STEM Center at Arecibo Observatory and the Citizen DNA Barcode Network, which engages community research teams in using DNA barcoding to explore biodiversity.
