Genome BC Geneskool held a very successful camp at Capilano University from August 15th - 19th, 2011 and a big thanks to everyone that helped make it happen. We hope all the students had a blast and learning about forensics and genomics through hands-on activities but also through meeting scientists, RCMP officers and more! Congratulations to Team Kung-Fu Pandas who took the overall team prize and students definitely impressed us all, demonstrating their creativity through amazing models of DNA! It was agreed that fun was had by all. To see more check out some of the material below:
