Events › Interactive Biology Exploration with Model Organism Zoo

Learn how the human body works with real biologists! This Zoom session accompanies a hybrid virtual activity kit developed by Model Organism Zoo, a Harvard graduate student-run science outreach program. Kit registrants will receive virtual instructions and use common materials to perform at-home experiments that explore the digestive, circulatory, and nervous systems. Then, a team of scientist volunteers will meet with registrants online for an interactive activity session!

Registration for this event is required. All registrants will receive a Zoom link and virtual instructions prior to the interactive activity session.
