Get creative with DNA and discover how its structure allows it to store and share the code of life. This drop-in activity gives visitors the chance to assemble oversized DNA puzzle pieces that show how the 4 bases fit together, before making colourful friendship bracelets. These use beads to represent each base, with simple guidance on which sequences would pair up in real DNA, allowing people to create complementary bracelets with family and friends. The activity offers a playful introduction to the building blocks that form the foundations of life and underpin biological research.
