Explore 3D Printing

In this activity, participants will design an enrichment tool for a research animal’s environment using computer aided design (CAD) tools and explore how their design could be 3D printed.

Directed Differentiation

In this activity, participants will explore how stem cells can change, or differentiate, into other cell types. This can occur spontaneously due to stress or because of changes in their environment. Participants will also discover how scientists can encourage, or direct, a stem cell to differentiate into a certain cell type by adding growth factors or changing certain conditions.
