Join us for a one-of-a-kind event that brings together football, Notre Dame spirit, and science! Participants will work through a fun and interactive lab to solve the mystery of who kidnapped the Leprechaun. You’ll use real lab equipment like pipettes and electrophoresis to reveal the culprit.

This event is open to science and football enthusiasts of all backgrounds—perfect for ages 9 to 99!

Please meet at the DNA Learning Center Lab at 1:00 PM. We are located in Jordan Hall of Science room 139 (the southwest corner of the building).
