This 24-page report, published by Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, describes the design and construction of Axolo, an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This report was created by Epoxsea, a student group that participated in the 2021 MATE ROV competitions Explorer class....

This resource provides a research article on five myths of girls participation in science and technology programs. The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) program seeks to broaden the participation of girls and women in science, technology,...

From the University of California, Davis, Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, this biotechnology laboratory is a five-day activity with bacterial transformations and green fluorescent protein. “In this lab activity, students will attempt to cause a wild type strain of E. coli to incorporate...

This tutorial, provided by Virginia Geospatial Extension, is part of a series of 30 tutorial videos that cover remotely sensed data in ArcMap 10.x versions. "This tutorial covers band display combinations of Landsat Imagery." This video runs 03:49 minutes in length. The other videos in the series...

This video, from the Integrated Geospatial Education and Technology Training Project (iGETT), introduces band combinations for Landsat imagery. The presentation gives an overview of reflected light as perceived by the eye and by censors, and how representing wavelength rages with various bands...

This 194-page 2016 report, edited by Shirley Malcom and Michael Feder, investigates barriers and opportunities faced by students pursuing STEM degrees at 2-year and 4-year institutions. This consensus report was compiled by a number of contributors including the Committee on Barriers and...

This slide deck, published by National Academies (U.S.), discusses a report on barriers that students face when completing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degrees. Also discussed are opportunities in development that are intended to aid degree completion in these fields. The...

A portion of the Partnership for Plant Genomics Education, hosted by the University of California-Davis, this PDF presents a student activity where students will use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate several different dyes. The lab is described as a “precursor to DNA separations” and thus...

Micropipets are used in almost all biotechnology experiments. These precise instruments allow for the dispensing of extremely small volumes. This laboratory exercise will teach students to learn how to operate a micropipet, understand measuring volumes in microliters, and convert metric volumes....

Restriction mapping is a cornerstone of modern-day biotechnology. During this three-day exercise, students will digest samples of DNA with three different restriction enzymes. The DNA samples will be electrophoresed and the resulting fragments photographed under and ultraviolet transilluminator....
