Program Description
Event Details
What determines your eye color, straight or curly hair texture, and blood type? It all comes down to DNA! Students will learn the basics of genetics, including how DNA affects the way traits are passed from one generation to the next. Students will create interactive models and play Sherlock Holmes to decode a series of genetic mysteries.
The San Diego Public Library and UC San Diego Extension are proud to bring all Library NExT programming to you for free, thanks to funding provided by the federal government. In order to keep these programs free, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program requires us to collect household income information as part of the registration. All the information collected is confidential and is only used for tracking to provide funds for this program.
All participants are welcome. If you need special accessibility accommodations, please email srs@ucsd.edu in advance of your participation.
