Students of Harens Lyceum visit Science Linx
On 30 August, students from the Harens Lyceum school (formerly Zernike College) visited the University of Groningen Science faculty.
In six groups, a total of 115 students and several teachers from the Harens Lyceum secondary school participated in a very busy programme organized by Science LinX. The visitors were given a guided tour of the permanent exhibition in the Bernoulliborg, and climbed up to the observatory to look at the sun through a special telescope on the roof. They also created real Bio Art by painting with bacteria, under the supervision of the University of Groningen iGem-team . This same team gave them a lecture on their contribution to the 2016 iGEM competition, in which student teams engineer a bacterium for a specific (and usually very out of the ordinary) application. In this case, the team will make a bacterium that can be used for data encryption.
All this on their first day at school! For the Harens Lyceum, the visit to Science LinX has become an annual tradition .
