PART 2

Attend an eight-day summer program in biotechnology designed for high school teachers seeking new knowledge and instructional ideas. Receive a $750.00 stipend, a hardcopy and flash-drive version of the summer workshop's laboratory exercises, and access to lab supplies and kits that will enrich your home school lab/classroom activities.

Biotechnologists work in fields that fight disease, create new drugs, improve food production and clean up the environment. In the summer institutes teachers will learn real-world applications of biotechnology that will interest their students and shape future career choices. Representatives from industry will also provide the latest information on cutting edge research trends, job availability and current salaries in the field.
