Family-Friendly Spooky Agar Art – Halloween Painting w/ Bacteria!

Details

Join Counter Culture Labs for an exciting workshop focused on DIY just-for-fun biotechnology. We will be making colorful agar art with glowing bacterial culture.

In this workshop, you will draw out a picture on the petri dish using bacteria and after a few days, the bacterial colonies will form and your art will be visible!

The theme is Spoooky art, so draw any of your favorite Halloween icons on the three petri dishes provided! 🧙‍♀️ 🦇 Our genetically engineered bacteria can't leave the lab but we'll send you pictures of your art piece so you can appreciate the beauty of microorganisms.

This is a family-friendly event so we have tiered pricing!

Tickets are $40 per adult. $20 for youth 18 and under with valid student ID. Youth must be accompanied by their guardian.
