High School Biology Teacher Workshop
at The Science House, NCSU
Biotechnology and Genomics Workshop
Saturday, October 8, 2005Come for a one day refresher course in the modern techniques of genetics. Learn about resources available to teachers, including how to borrow kits that will allow you to do equipment-intensive experiments with your students. Talk to scientists, do hands-on activities, learn how to better prepare your students for the cutting-edge world of genetics! The workshop will be held in Raleigh, at The Science House, on Saturday, October 8. Participants will receive a stipend of $75 and a copy of an activity manual with age-appropriate classroom activities in genetics for high school students.
