Hello, Just wanted to let you all know about the Biotechnology Institute Genome Teacher Workshops in Detroit on October 9th and 10th. We're looking for teachers within 100 miles of Detroit, to participate. For more information please contact Kathy Frame kframe@biotechinstitute.org or by phone at 703.248.8681. Thank you.
Learn about the rich resources available for the traveling exhibit:
Genome: The Secret of How Life Works
The Biotechnology Institute, with funding from the Pfizer Foundation, is conducting two one-day Teacher-Leader
Workshops in Detroit, MI to accompany the traveling museum exhibit, Genome: The Secret of How Life Works fund-ed
by Pfizer, Inc. (see genome.pfizer.com). We are seeking teachers and museum science educators within a 100-mile
radius of Detroit, MI to attend this workshop on the Genome Exhibit, now at the New Detroit Science Center. The one-day
workshops will provide you with hands-on lab experience, the Genome edition of Your World and accompany-ing
teacher’s guide, draft copy of the Genome Teacher’s Resource Guide, a virtual tour of the exhibit online, time to
visit the exhibit, and certificate of participation. Participants will attend either October 9 or 10. Lunch and a light
snack will be provided each day. Lodging and travel are not included.
Each teacher (grades 4 to 12) or museum science educator selected to attend one of the one-day workshops will
be requested to do an outreach workshop with a minimum duration of one half-day by June 2005. The approximate
time commitment for this workshop is 2 days to prepare and implement the workshop and to complete the evalu-ation
mechanisms. Teacher-Leaders who conduct an outreach workshop will receive a stipend and materials’
allowance.
