Schmahl Science brings together Silicon Valley's scientists, teachers and science professionals for student workshops in classrooms that spark interest in science and technology. The “BioMobileLab” (traveling science laboratory) is designed to serve junior and senior high school students in San Jose, California's poorest neighborhoods. The BioMobileLab - which runs on bio-diesel - provides the equipment for advanced biology experiments, including powerful microscopes whose images can be projected on a flat video screen. The lab also has a DNA thermocycler which takes small amounts of DNA for analysis. It lets students conduct college-level scientific investigations in molecular biology, chromatography, cell culture and cancer biology, plant biology, microbiology and biochemistry.
