Achievement

One of our trainees participated in a elementary school science demonstration as part of the outreach activities. The trainee met a 5th grader and encouraged him to attend our Engineers Day at UK. The 5th grader came to Engineers Day and at that time, asked the trainee to help him with his science fair project. The 5th grader came to the trainees lab at the University and learned about extracting DNA. His science fair project on extracting DNA from bananas won 3rd place overall in the science fair competition. The trainee continues to mentor this 5th grade student and was recently honored by the principal of the elementary school at a fund raising dinner.
