Skills You’ll Gain from This Biology Programme

🔬

Lab Techniques & Scientific Observation

Work with real equipment, follow research protocols, and document findings like a practising scientist.

🧬

Genetics & DNA Analysis

Understand how DNA encodes life and how a single mutation can change biological outcomes.

🔎

Forensic Science Applications

Use DNA evidence to crack a real crime case the way forensic investigators actually do.

💻

Computational Biology & Python Coding

Use Python and pattern detection to scan DNA sequences the way genetic researchers do.

🎤

Scientific Communication

Present your findings and defend your conclusions to a panel of working scientists.

📊

Critical Thinking & Data Interpretation

Analyse biological evidence, interpret gel electrophoresis results, and conclude real constraints.

What’s the Programme Flow?

Day 1

From kitchen chemistry to a solved crime

Meet Your Lab Partner

Team up with your fellow forensic analyst and get your first look at the case files.

Extract DNA Sample

Extract real DNA from a strawberry using simple household chemicals and watch it appear before your eyes.

Masterclass on Forensic Genetics

Learn the mental framework every biologist uses, from first observation to final hypothesis.

The Crime Scene Walkthrough

Get a crime scene briefing — a house was robbed, and your job is to decode the findings through the DNA.

Run Gel Electrophoresis

Load the PCR products, run the gels, and separate each suspect’s unique genetic signature.

Evidence Analysis & Verdict

Analyse your banding patterns, match the crime scene DNA, and present your verdict to the group.

Day 2

Learn how computers analyse DNA at scale

Masterclass by Bio Practitioners

Learn from a working scientist on how biology is driving breakthroughs in medicine, forensics, and biotechnology.

Mutation Detection Briefing

Learn how mutation detection works using Python and real DNA sequences.

Write Code That Reads DNA

Generate Python code in Google Colab, load real gene sequences, and detect mutations letter by letter.

DNA Pattern Detection at Scale

Extend your code to simulate a real genome dataset and discover why AI does what no human reader ever could.

Research Presentation & Defence

Present your findings to a panel of real biologists, researchers & healthcare professionals, defend your conclusions, and earn your recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate in Bio School Weekend?

The programme is open to students from Grades 8–12 who are curious about biology, science, and how the living world actually works. No prior lab or coding experience is required.

Do I need prior biology or coding knowledge?

No, students will be taught everything from scratch. Our scientists and mentors guide participants through every step, from handling equipment to writing their first lines of Python.

Can I come alone, or do I need a team?

Both are welcome. Solo students will be grouped into teams on Day 1. You can also register as a pre-formed group of 4 or more at the team rate.

What is the schedule like?

It is a two-day intensive programme. Each day runs from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with breaks for lunch and networking. Day 1 focuses on DNA extraction and the forensic investigation. Day 2 covers AI-driven genetics and career exploration.

Will participants receive a certificate?

Yes, all participants receive an industry-recognised certificate. Top teams are recognised with awards and accolades at the closing ceremony.
