Biology outreach programs

This is a scheduled class that provides in-class instruction on protocols, techniques, and strategies to be successful as an iGEM team. Most of the research and work is done after school, evenings, and weekends. How do I get on the iGEM team?

What is the Biotechnology Immersion Program? This program STEM education and outreach program specifically focuses on Biotechnology and providing meaningful learning experiences and exposure to new techniques and ground breaking technologies for the public and DoD workforce.

GEA seeks solution to lower barriers e. GEA aims to introduce large numbers of biology students to bioinformatics and provide students with a course-based research experiences CUREs. The program draws students from universities across the nation as well as Washington University. Biology Professor Erik Herzog is the program's director. Students have the opportunity to work on interdisciplinary projects and develop research skills in the physical sciences, the biological sciences, and engineering.

Students from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. To learn more, visit the CEMB website. To learn more, visit the Office of Undergraduate Research website. Once they start asking question, they see the world in a different way. And they want to find the answers.

Master of Science in Biology for High School Science Teachers The Master of Science in Biology provides high school teachers the opportunity to learn from leading researchers at Washington University, including a number of Department of Biology professors. Animal Behavior and Evolution Day Biology Professor Joan Strassmann started this annual event as a way to engage undergraduate students in science education.

To listen to more episodes, visit the Plantae website. The Biology Department provides tailgaters with hands-on experiments, info on native plants and invasive species, practice with microscopes, features live invertebrates, and much more. This annual state-level event gives K students from all over the state of Alabama a chance to compete in STEM competitions. The winners move on to the National Science Olympiad. Bama Bug Fest is a new, annual family-friendly science education event as of This event is fun for all all ages.

Contact: Summer semester — Jeana Yates Christine. This day intensive program provides teachers an introduction to the College Board's AP program and prepares them to teach the AP biology curriculum. The purpose of these workshops is to provide an opportunity for high school biology teachers in Indiana to stay abreast of the latest developments in teaching and laboratory techniques within the biological sciences.

Areas of specific interest to high school biology are emphasized. In addition, workshops allow teachers to share information and ideas that enhance the teaching and learning of biology in our schools.

Each summer the department conducts a one-week institute for biology teachers who teach advanced biology courses A. P and IB. Participants perform appropriate laboratory exercises and receive updates on recent advances in all areas of biology.

The Indiana Association of Biology Teachers is an organization that provides opportunities for biology teachers in the state to meet and share ideas.

IABT is committed to the professional development of the biology educator and is a vital source keeping abreast of developments in biology teaching today. Trouble with this page? Disability-related accessibility issue? Please contact the College of Science Webmaster.
