FLY LAB @ ESPERANZA COLLEGE
Join us for a week of fun and science at FlyLab hosted by Esperanza College and Fox Chase Cancer Center and become a member of the STEM-Gen!
FlyLab is a fun, informative, inquiry-based event that is a great introduction to how experiments are performed in cancer research labs, such as the Fox Chase Cancer Center.
In one week, FlyLab runs from Benchwork Bootcamp to Experimental Analysis all performed by the students using techniques and equipment common to researchers around the world.
Students will be introduced to basic genetics, observe the stages of fruit fly development, and work to make connections between diet and health.
Esperanza: FlyLab, hosted at Esperanza College in North Philadelphia, serving a primarily Hispanic population. This is a 1-week science experience camp open to all high school and recent high school graduates interested in learning more about laboratory research. Students work collaboratively as they complete bench work boot-camp, have interactive lectures, and learn about fly-eye genetics. The week concludes with students discussing their findings and proposing next steps in the research.
