Explore two new, hands-on science workshops designed to spark curiosity and critical thinking!
Brownies: Examine fingerprints up close and learn to identify common fingerprint patterns, including loops, arches, and whorls. Investigate fruit flies under a microscope and observe fascinating genetic mutations as you step into the world of forensic science.
Juniors: Investigate a mock crime scene using real-world lab tools like micropipettes and gel electrophoresis, a technique used to separate and analyze DNA. Compare DNA fingerprint samples and uncover hidden clues to solve the mystery.
Both programs bring science to life through discovery, observation, and problem-solving-perfect for future scientists and investigators!
Important: This is a drop-off event. No adults or tag-alongs are permitted in the program. A snack will be provided. Please report any food allergies in the dietary restriction filed when you register. Girl Scouts will earn the STEM Career Badge upon completion of this program. Please bring the DNA Learning Center Photo/VideoRelease to the event or email it prior to the event to waterhouseg@gsnc.org by no later than 10/15/2026. If you choose to send the DNA Learning Center Photo/Video Release by email, the subject should contain the Program Name and your Girl Scout's first and last name. This DNA
Learning Center Photo/Video Release can also be found in your MYGS Account under upcoming events and then additional documentation.
Location: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center
