May 2023 : Shared Science celebrated both Teacher Appreciation Week and Asian American Pacific Islander this month, assembled LEGO fractal shapes with students, and simulated earthquakes with LEGO WeDo. Keep reading for more info on STEM developments beyond our classrooms, like considering DNA data storage, losing sight of Jupiter, plus two hands-on STEM activities kids can do at home. Storing Data in DNA In a world where people constantly need more digital space, scientists have found new ways to store data. DNA storage uses DNA molecules to capture vast amounts of information. Experts expect the first DNA data center to be active within the next decade. Data usually stored in a hard drive will be held in the base pairs that make up DNA. This innovative method allows for more efficient and compact storage, with the added benefit of a longer data lifespan.
