How do doctors solve medical mysteries? Join our class to learn about Radiology, a medical specialty where doctors analyze images of body scans (like X-ray, MRI, and CT scans) to diagnose and treat disease! In this class, we will focus on learning basic anatomy and how to diagnose simple diseases by analyzing CT scan images–just like a radiologist! Heads up: We’ll be looking at real scans and pictures of different organs to learn how to diagnose diseases, so make sure you are fine with that before joining our class! If you are curious about science and medicine, this class is for you, and maybe you’ll even become inspired to become a radiologist in the future!
S15010: Biotechnology: How Does COVID-19 Testing Work? in Spark 2022 (Mar. 12 - 13, 2022)
You’ve probably taken a rapid antigen and/or PCR COVID-19 test before, maybe even multiple. But do you know how these tests even work? What is an antigen? What does Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) mean? How is a lab able to tell if you have COVID-19 from a quick nose swab? If you want to learn the answers to these questions… take this class! You will get a glimpse into the world of biotechnology by learning about how Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests and rapid antigen tests work to determine if someone has COVID-19.
S15018: The Bacteriophage: The Virus That Could Save Lives in Spark 2022 (Mar. 12 - 13, 2022)
Antibiotic resistance is starting to become a big problem, but a virus could help save us. Yes, you read correctly, a virus. Not all viruses are harmful to humans. In fact, some can be beneficial to us. Like the bacteriophage, which can actually help us when we no other treatment works for a bacterial infection. In this class, we will learn about what antibiotic resistance is and how the bacteriophage could help save lives.
