Microbiologists used to be like treasure hunters with magnifying glasses; having no good way to see what is just outside of their view. Now, with AI as their trusty map-maker, they’re exploring galaxies of data faster than a DJ working a turntable.

Imagine discovering new bacteria that could help clean up pollution, all thanks to AI’s lightning-fast calculations. Or predicting disease outbreaks before they even happen, thanks to AI’s knack for spotting unusual patterns.

Combine this power with a passion for hip hop and self expression, and get ready to embark on an incredible journey that will take your knowledge of science to a whole new level with Micro Beats!

Participants will mix microbiology, chemistry, artificial intelligence, and hip hop to learn all the skills necessary to become a scientist. By blending the magic of artificial intelligence with the wonder of biological research and the soul of hip hop, explore how AI isn’t just about sci-fi movies – it’s your partner in unlocking your passion and future in science!
