Each summer, two one-week courses are offered by Baldwin-Wallace College that are attended by gifted students from all over Ohio. Admission to the course is competitive. Students learn about such topics as DNA, proteins, making recombinant DNA molecules, and the polymerase chain reaction. More importantly, students actually spend a great deal of time in the lab doing genetic screens, making DNA fingerprints, and genetically engineering a baterium so that it glows in the dark. The course also involves several demonstrations, such as a visit to Baldwin-Wallace's Neuroscience Laband the electron microscope lab.
