Workshops at SoundBio Lab are fun, hands-on science learning experiences. You can grow bacteria, create billions of DNA molecules in a test tube or find new life down the eyepiece of a microscope! Workshops are run in our lab space, with groups of 3-10 participants, and are led by a volunteer educator with years of experience in laboratory science under their belt.

• We run multiple different workshop every month.

• All of our workshops are suitable for total beginners unless clearly stated in the workshop description.

• All participants must be at least 12 years old.

• Workshops are typically priced at $30 per person. SoundBio Lab members (which includes all volunteers) get 50% off for themselves and a guest. Fee waivers are available if the cost is prohibitive. You can apply for a fee waiver via this form.

• In the event that a workshop is cancelled, we’ll issue a free coupon you can exchange for any future workshop.

Our fees go to keeping our community science space open and operational. But we don’t want anyone to miss out due to their financial situation - If our fees pose a significant barrier to your participation please contact workshops@sound.bio for a fee discount or waiver.

If you purchase a ticket and are unable to attend, please email workshops@sound.bio to receive a credit reimbursement that you can apply to a future event.
