From Aug. 4-5, the East Meadow School District partnered with Columbia University to participate in the third annual CRISPR Science Camp at W.T. Clarke High School for incoming sixth graders.
Students in the program got a head start on subjects surrounding DNA, cells, bacteria and more. Science teachers in the district worked with graduate students from the Sternberg Lab at Columbia University in this hands-on camp. Debra Harley, the district’s director of mathematics and science, and Columbia University Professor Dr. Samuel Sternberg led a discussion on this innovative program before students entered the science labs to work as young scientists.
