Kids Chromatography (For Ages 7-13)
Baltimore Under Ground Science Space, 101 N Haven St #105, Baltimore, MD, USGet ready for a hands-on class about chromatography, where you'll explore the colorful world of separation techniques!
Join us for an exciting evening of hands-on learning at Baltimore UnderGround Science Space (BUGSS)! Chemists commonly work to separate individual molecules from complex mixtures. Chromatography is a widely used chemistry technique that separates different types of molecules. We will perform chromatography on plants and other colorful chemicals to learn more about why chromatography is such a valuable technique for many different fields of science.
BUGSS wants to be available and accessible to all who are interested, so scholarships are available for all courses. Please reach out to us at info@bugssonline.org if a scholarship would help you to be able to attend.

Fungal bioprinting (adult course for ages 18 and up)
Baltimore Under Ground Science Space, 101 N Haven St #105, Baltimore, MD, USGet creative with 3D printing using fungi in this hands-on class for adults!
Join us for a hands-on course all about fungal bioprinting. In collaboration with the FunGuyLab (FunguyLab), you'll get to explore how we can shape living materials through bioprinting techniques. This is a great chance to dive into the science of fungi and see how they’re being used beyond the usual mushroom stuff.
Perfect for ages 18 and up, this event gives you a chance to get creative with biology and technology combined. We'll build a bioprinter and explore different living substrates such as fungi (mycelium) and slime molds. Come learn how to bring these cool materials to life in new forms!Note: this class meets on both Oct 10th and Oct 17th from 9AM-noon with different material on each day. Your ticket covers both days.

Quantitative PCR (adult course for ages 13 and up)
Baltimore Under Ground Science Space, 101 N Haven St #105, Baltimore, MD, USLearn how to see RNA in real-time!
Join us to learn the advanced molecular technique of quantitative PCR (qPCR). This procedure monitors the amount of DNA produced in real-time using fluorescent dyes or probes, and it is the gold standard for the detection of viral infections including COVID-19, forensic testing, pathogen detection, and analysis of gene expression. Together we'll learn how exponential DNA amplification works and how to quantify nucleic acids.
This will be an immersive hands-on class, but it's okay if this is all new to you, no prior experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to learn!
