Welcome to the front lines of biotechnology. In this 40-minute experience, students will step into the role of a new technician at a state-of-the-art biomanufacturing facility. They will be trained on how cells are grown to produce therapeutics and learn how they are purified in a safe and sterile manner using aseptic technique. Students will learn the rules, standards, and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) that technicians must follow to get a treatment from the laboratory to patients.
In this design challenge, students will work together to design a tool or process that successfully removes an invasive species from an ecosystem while minimizing harm to the native species and environment.
In this challenge, students will practice problem-solving and collaboration skills as they design, build, and test their wind turbine
prototypes. Students will explore the role of renewable energy in powering communities, learn about energy transfer and mechanical systems, and gain insight into the importance of sustainable energy solutions.
In this activity, students will read the story "In a Garden" by Tim McCanna. They will learn about the life cycle of a plant, what seeds need to grow, and what keeps seeds from growing. They will then create their own seed house and watch their seeds sprout!
