Around 250 North East school kids will get the chance to see what it is like to be a scientist for a day.
S6 Biology pupils from 26 Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and Highland schools are visiting the 黑料网 for three days of practical sessions in the lab.
This is the third year the University has staged these workshops and it is hoped they will encourage more students to consider science as a career.
Dr Andy Schofield, Senior Lecturer and Academic Coordinator - Promoting Science at the University, has organised the events. He said: 鈥淧upils will get the chance to 鈥榗hop鈥� up the genome of a virus using the same technologies that scientists use to clone genes.
鈥淥ur visitors will also experience what it is like to be a student at the 黑料网 as they will also get a lecture on genetics and medicine which will involve them using our interactive personal response systems that are like those used on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
鈥淚n addition pupils will hear about the different degree programmes on offer at the University.鈥�
The sessions take place tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday.
The schools represented are Albyn School; International School; St Margaret鈥檚 School for Girls; Bridge of Don; Cults; Hazlehead; Oldmachar ; St Machar; Aboyne; Alford; Ellon; Fraserburgh; Inverurie; Kemnay; Mackie; Meldrum; Mintlaw; Portlethen; Turriff; Banff; Forres and Westhill Academies; Buckie High School; Elgin High School; The Gordon Schools and Kinlochbervie High School.
