The Royal Institution of Great Britain in London hosts a holiday workshop for students in years 7 to 9. Participants will learn to extract their own DNA to create a piece of jewellery. Tickets are priced between £33.94 and £42.28.
Make the most unique piece of jewellery you will ever own in this exciting workshop!
After harvesting their own cheek cells, students will extract their DNA using lysis buffer, protease and ethanol. They will go home with a piece of their own DNA in a necklace.
This workshop takes place in the Urenco Young Scientist Centre’s teaching laboratory, offering students a unique opportunity to experience working in a real lab environment. For safety reasons, all participants must wear closed-toe shoes, and anyone with long hair is required to tie it back.
This workshop does not include a break.
For children who have just completed Years 7, 8 or 9 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 11–14 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.
Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
