Did you know every piece of fruit carries its own secret instruction manual for life? It’s called DNA! In this hands-on activity, you’ll choose a fruit, extract its real DNA, and then mix it with colorful watercolor inks to create your very own DNA-powered marker. Finally, put your marker to the test by drawing unique works of art—each one secretly hiding the full recipe for a piece of fruit.
This workshop is part of the BioDiscovery Lab series from Kiewit Luminarium and Metropolitan Community College. These hands-on workshops explore the exciting world of biotechnology. Biotechnology uses living organisms to create products that benefit health, agriculture, and the environment. Blending biology, design, and technology, this activity sparks curiosity and creativity in STEM.
