WETLAB COMPONENT
Goal
The goal of the wetlab component of BacPack is to connect the digital experience to a hands-on, lab-based one. In the digital activity visitors explore designing bacteria to have a variety of new, useful functions for helping humans survive in different extreme environments. In the wetlab activity visitors get try their hands at the same real-world process of engineering a bacteria to have a new property of their choosing.
Activity Design Outline
Visitors transform a living bacteria to make it do something new:
-5 DNA options that change the physical appearance of bacteria in different ways
-Each ‘color’ represents a bacteria function that can provide one of the 5 needs on Mars
-Visitors pick the DNA they want to use and transform e.coli with it
-They can see a photo of their grown ‘mars bacteria’ several days later
