在过去的几十年里，生命科学研究的性质发生了巨大的变化，需要一个具有各种计算技能的劳动力，例如存储，管理和分析下一代测序产生的大型生物数据集所需的技能。研究和工业界对拥有这种专门知识的人的就业需求越来越大。尽管如此，生物信息学教育未能跟上研究进展的步伐。在中学一级，计算往往是孤立于其他科学教授，它在生物研究的重要性没有得到充分认识，让学生准备高等教育的计算部分，随后，在生命科学的研究。4273pi学校生物信息学项目（4273pi.org）旨在解决这一问题，为中学生物学生设计和提供与生物学有关的动手生物信息学讲习班，重点是公平获得。到目前为止，我们已经通过访问或教师活动到达苏格兰各地的180多所学校，我们的开放教育资源在国际上使用。在这里，我们描述了我们的项目，我们的目标和动机，以及我们在过去5年中成功实施生物信息学教育项目所学到的实际经验教训。
Over the last few decades, the nature of life sciences research has changed enormously, generating a need for a workforce with a variety of computational skills such as those required to store, manage, and analyse the large biological datasets produced by next-generation sequencing. Those with such expertise are increasingly in demand for employment in both research and industry. Despite this, bioinformatics education has failed to keep pace with advances in research. At secondary school level, computing is often taught in isolation from other sciences, and its importance in biological research is not fully realised, leaving pupils unprepared for the computational component of Higher Education and, subsequently, research in the life sciences. The 4273pi Bioinformatics at School project (https://4273pi.org) aims to address this issue by designing and delivering curriculum-linked, hands-on bioinformatics workshops for secondary school biology pupils, with an emphasis on equitable access. So far, we have reached over 180 schools across Scotland through visits or teacher events, and our open education resources are used internationally. Here, we describe our project, our aims and motivations, and the practical lessons we have learned from implementing a successful bioinformatics education project over the last 5 years.
