The first ever DNA Dave “Build Your Own” School Workshop took place this month!
DNA Dave was first created in 2016 and designed to be used as an interdisciplinary, educational tool to teach the concept of DNA transcription and translation at various science festivals. He was such a hit with audiences and teachers who attended, that a plan to take him into schools was formed.
The workshop welcomed students from schools across Norfolk to learn the biology and coding behind DNA Dave in a bid to create their own educational robot.
Each school taking part received a “DNA Dave Starter Kit” worth £100 that included all the know-how and BBC micro:bit gadgets to build their own robot which they will then present at a celebration event to be held later in the year.
