In this take home lab, you will look at the diversity of life in the deep dark ocean by dissecting a foot-long, color changing, beaked, inking squid. Then you’ll compare it to the anatomical benefits of being a jawless lamprey whose suction-cup mouth is ringed with tiny sharp teeth, a crab that uses its claws to manipulate its food, and a starfish that projects its stomach over its prey to digest it outside its body.

KIT INCLUDES CRAB, LAMPREY, SPONGE, SQUID AND STARFISH SPECIMENS, TOOLS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCESS THE RECORDED VIRTUAL DISSECTION SESSION.

Grades 6 - 12

Second Wednesday of the Month Starting November 8th through September 11

The Course Link will be sent to the email address listed 48 hours in advance along with the pdf print.

How it Works: Each month we will provide a pdf file to print out in advance of each training session. The pdf will have a set of anatomy QR code cards and a strip of paper that will be taped into a cylinder shape. You'll need a computer or other device to join the course. You'll also need a separate phone or tablet (like Android or Apple device) that can scan QR codes with Internet connectivity. You don't need to download anything. During the course, the facilitator will instruct you to select specific QR codes, to launch the VR trainer via the paper cylinder. Can't make the live course? No worries, the live course will be recorded and available on demand after each session occurs.

Cost: $200 for a full week of camp

This week-long, hands-on learning opportunity involves brief modules followed by interactive sessions that include bioengineering, augmented reality, mad-science, hands-only chest compression CPR and more!
