Abstract
Biotechnology application is a key to Global development through its utilization to yield products and services. The barrier to adoption of Biotechnology applications and research findings is greatly due to poor communication hence aligned to only the few in science field. This lead to the introduction of science centre concept in Kenya. Publications may not improve citizen�??s livelihood without understanding the big science through simplified communication skills. Science centers link scientific research and public and is an important innovation platform which focuses on hands-on, inquiry based learning and has achieved a high trust rate for science communication. Simple exhibits are used at the Biotechnology science centre; DNA extraction in the kitchen; using ground carrots, fruits, leaves, warm salty water, detergent and spirit; mixed and thread like substance observed; DNA rising into the upper spirit layer; changing flower colors by food colors; cell study by orange demonstration; lifesaving skills- fire extinguishers by bi-carbonate and weak acids. School children and the public; youth have enjoyed science as fan due to informal center�??s setup.
