Witnessing wonder one banana peel at a time: Inspiring tomorrow's scientists at Let It Shine Academy!
Making a difference in the world of science starts small, with bright eyes brimming with curiosity. That's why we hosted our first-ever science fair at Let It Shine Academy (LISA), and the energy was electric! ✨
Our budding scientists dove headfirst into the fascinating world of life science, embarking on a quest to extract DNA from everyone's favourite potassium-packed fruit: the banana!
From mashing mushy banana pulp to marveling at the tiny threads of life under microscopes, the excitement was palpable. Each step, each giggle, each "Woah!" moment reaffirmed our belief: igniting a passion for science in young minds is worth every ounce of effort.
Because who knows? Tomorrow's groundbreaking discoveries, life-saving innovations, and world-changing solutions might just be born from a simple banana and a spark of wonder in a young scientist's eye. And we wouldn't have it any other way!

Hello everyone welcome to our first episode of I-Gene science fair live at Let It Shine Secondary School Come with me Hello Children!!! Hi, my name is Davis from I-Gene Life Science Foundation. I-Gene Life Science Foundation is a foundation that is focused on illuminating the interest of secondary and university school students into life science careers and trends. Today we are at Let It Shine Academy, a private owned secondary school that is there to help marginalized kids to gain quality education. We're here to give an exciting experiment to the kids, exciting biological experiments. Join us. My name is Davis and I'm from I-Gene. and today we are going to be doing something interesting. We're going to be having an experiment. How many of you know what a cell? Yes, CELL. Good. How many of you know what a DNA is? Ohh, interesting. OK. OK, that's good. That's good. So today we're going to be talking about the DNA and how we can remove DNA. Yes, we want to remove a DNA from a cell sounds... Does it sound interesting? Does this sound interesting? If its interesting let me see your excitement. OK. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Alright, so please, I'll need you all to be quiet. I want to show you something now? I want to show you something now, it's going to instruct us on what a cell is and what a DNA is all about and then we're going to go right to the next hall and extract a DNA from something. I won't tell you now until you get there. My name is Abel Precious I���m from Let It Shine Academy. I learnt that DNA is in everyone, and I learnt how to take DNA from any cell. My name is Melody, I am from Let It Shine Secondary School. I learnt that DNA is the building block of life and DNA they like shape an individual and how an individual is suppose to be My name is Martin Sani. I���m from Let It Shine Secondary School I learnt the power of science and i learnt that everyone has DNA.
