STEAM Summer Camp: Bio Blast Lab
Where does your yogurt come from? Your medicine? Your fuel? This week, campers find out by doing it themselves. In partnership with the Illinois Fermentation and Biomanufacturing Hub, kids run real fermentation experiments, work with microbes, and explore how biology and automation power some of the most important industries in the world. It's hands-on, it's surprising, and it's the kind of behind-the-scenes access most adults never get. MORE INFO & FAQ
