Families or any member of the General Public will come to this drop-in activity and extract DNA from strawberries using a simple process which only takes 10 minutes and is completely hands-on. After 10 minutes they will see a white band of DNA appear before their eyes, which they can fish out and take away in a separate tube if they want (children love to be able to take something home with them). We tested this activity at the Bang Goes the Borders Science Festival in Scotland earlier this year and children as young as four years old took part without a problem. We would have at least five helpers on the stand at a time so we will be able to work with 10 children at a time. This is a reproducible and fun activity which can also be high-throughput.
