Glide High students report on Seattle science trip: Fred Hutch, Allen Institute and UW Bothell labs
Summary
High-school students and their teacher described a three-day Seattle science trip, including lab work at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center, CRISPR activities at the Allen Institute and a facial-reconstruction lab at the University of Washington Bothell.
High-school students presented to the board about a recent three-day Seattle field trip that combined lab work, research demonstrations and cultural experiences. Teacher Mr. Shaw introduced Clara, Ben and Noah (students) and the students took turns describing visits to the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center (gel electrophoresis lab work), the Allen Institute (hands-on CRISPR activities) and a UW Bothell lab that covered facial reconstruction methods.
Students described hands-on techniques: pipetting and gel electrophoresis to identify gene fragments and observing CRISPR-based DNA cutting demonstrations. Mr. Shaw thanked the Ben Sarafin Fund and community donors for making the trip possible and emphasized the educational and cultural value of the experience.
Board members and the superintendent praised the students' presentations and the district for facilitating experiential STEM learning.
