Educational Kits

Kits have been developed to help teachers teach on the various topics in biotechnology. These kits are 'adjustable' to length of time and depth of interest and consist of Powerpoint lectures and a series of hands-on demonstrations.

How is the vast amount of information about biotechnology conveyed and communicated to a broad target audience? How is the information about biology, life, and biotechnology made accessible to everyone? These questions are the challenges to lifeedu.

We have taken a 'downward diffusion' approach to education in this area through the development of materials that will help teachers enter this new area easily.

Downward diffusion refers to the process of teaching advanced topics that will explain the fundamentals. We have developed ‘educational kits’ that will help teachers develop their own customized lesson plans and lectures that are based on the most accessible and up-to-date information in the area. The ‘kits’ consist of lecture components constructed according to the format established for the general materials section (see The Way We Work With Life) comprised of three main platforms;

(I) The mechanics of life

(II) Applications of biotechnology

(III) Ethical and social concerns

The kits provide lectures on the various topics by contributing authors to lifeedu. The lectures contain audio, video, and powerpoint components that will help teachers can a background in the area, and provide the materials that they can use to present to their classes or seminars. Hands-on demonstrations for each section are suggested and provided. We also offer conference calls with staff experts to answer questions of assist with presentations. We also provide in depth workshops to help assist with the transfer of information.

These ‘kits’ are for all educational sectors.
