Science in Action: From 3D-Printed DNA to Real-World Diagnostics

It has been a busy and "hands-on" year for our science students! Our 9th-grade Biology students in Ms. Benson's class piloted an innovative protein synthesis lab using custom 3D-printed DNA models—a project made possible by a specialized equipment grant.

 Meanwhile, our College Biology students stepped into the role of medical professionals, practicing precision and diagnostic skills by conducting blood pressure screenings in the lab. Whether using cutting-edge technology or mastering traditional clinical tools, our students are gaining the practical experience needed for the next generation of scientific discovery.
