This video is part of the Innovating with Open Knowledge series at The University of Edinburgh.
This case study features Heleen Plaisier and Daniel Barker Lecturers in Bioinformatics at the University of Edinburgh. They also run the
4273π Project which introduces school children to software for learning computational biology whilst at school.
This case study explores the use of open resources when teaching children in the classroom. It will be of particular interest to teachers who want to know more about the Raspberry Pi and how to introduce informatics to teaching in science subjects at school.
This video (2 of 3) Finding What You Need, includes a short demo of a tool called 'Blast' which is used to identify a DNA sequence.. You can find out more about this project and arrange school visits through the website:
