MOULTRIE, Ga. — Georgia State University’s Bio-Bus Program will be presenting the “DNA is for Families” project at the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library on Saturday, Feb. 18, in the library auditorium. 

The project is designed to help educate students of all ages about DNA and basic genetic principles. The “alphabet” of the genetic language that is responsible for our physical traits will be explored.  

Hands-on activities will be used to teach the basics of DNA. Participants of all ages can participate in these arts and crafts activities to better understand DNA and themselves, a library spokeswoman said. Genealogists unfamiliar with the basics of DNA should find this session to be of interest.

There will be two sessions on Saturday. The first session will be held from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The second will be from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Both sessions will cover the same material so it will not be necessary to attend both sessions. Each session is limited to 30 people.

Preregistration is required. The program is free and everyone is invited to attend.

You may register at the library, by email at ram@mccls.org or by phone 229-985-6540.
