Description:
Elementary School, Middle School, High School and Community College Educators are Invited to attend our hands-on summer TeacherTECH Science Workshops.

The San Diego-based SMART Team program is a new Howard Hughes Medical Institute-supported pre-college science outreach program aimed at introducing high school students to basic concepts of protein structure and function. The program aims to involve students in a series of innovative activities focused on protein structure in which students work with research labs to design and build a physical model of the protein being investigated in a local research lab.

Course stipend is $200. Participants will also receive a collection of physical modeling materials.

This workshop is offered in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, The Scripps Research Institute, San Diego Miramar College and the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego. This workshop will take place at Miramar College.
