RECENT EVENTS
On Friday Jan 31st, the UNF Biology Club led a hands
on science demonstration at the Mali Vai Washington Kids Foundation. The foundation was founded by Wimbledon
champion and UNF alumni, Mali Vai Washington.
The foundation seeks to improve children’s lives in and out of the
classroom in the historic Durkeeville neighborhood of downtown Jacksonville. The UNF Biology Club led two, 1 hr science sessions
for 20 second and third graders. The
club covered the basics of microbiology and the importance of proper hand
washing and hygiene. The club also led
children in viewing wet mount slides and prepared slides under the
microscope.
