Purpose: make life-science tangible & accessible
Outcome: pupils, citizens aware about DNA, sequencing technologies, bioinformatics, open science and their applications and their impact on their daily life
Process: 1.5 day (or less according to modules) practical workshop on beer
Targets: pupils in high school (above 16 years old) and citizens with or without scientific background
Learning objectives: at the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- perform simple laboratory tasks
- give original examples of microbes and their diverse roles
- explain what is cell and what it contains
- describe DNA as the building block for life
- give examples of DNA sequencing technologies
- apply a pre-defined data analysis pipeline
- Online
- Free to (re)use if credits are given
Ready to use and modular protocols
- 2 versions
- detailed and explanatory version for teachers
- streamlined version for pupils

- Ideas of small pedagogical games to help understanding the protocols
- List of required consumables and materials
Slides for introduction talks but also as support for all protocols
- Open questions to start discussions
- Notes for presenters
- Presentation material to introduce the topic, theoretical background for lab-work and bioinformatics, with notes for presenters
Rooms
- Lab with enough lab benches to have groups of max. 4 people
