The National Association of Biology Teachers, Georgetown University, and Edvotek, Incorporation, have formed a partnership to make the introduction of modern molecular biology experiments into high school courses feasible for all schools. Workshops will be used to introduce high school teachers to appropriate experiments and they will then be able to obtain the necessary materials and equipment from Edvotek, which has developed an inexpensive line of laboratory equipment specifically designed for high school use. For only $90, about half the actual cost of consumables and shipping, a school will be able to obtain a kit containing all the necessary materials, equipment, and instructions. Equipment must be returned within four weeks to Edvotek, where the kits will be replenished and prepared for reshipping. Schools will have to furnish a purchase order for $1000, the cost of the kit, when ordering the kit, but this will be returned when the reusable equipment is returned. The experiments were designed and the equipment developed in conjunction with National Science Foundation-funded teacher workshops conducted at Georgetown University and other locations in recent years. They have been tested by the teachers who have taken the workshops both in the summer workshops and in their own classes back at school. Cost sharing by the partners will total 120% of the National Science Foundation funding.

全国生物学教师协会、乔治城大学和Edvotek，Inc.结成了合作伙伴关系，使所有学校都可以将现代分子生物学实验引入高中课程。将利用研讨会向高中教师介绍适当的实验，然后他们将能够从Edvotek获得必要的材料和设备，Edvotek已经开发了一系列专门为高中使用的廉价实验室设备。只需90美元，大约是实际消耗品和运费的一半，学校就可以获得包含所有必要材料、设备和说明的工具包。设备必须在四周内归还给Edvotek，在那里将补充工具包并准备重新装船。学校在订购套件时必须提供1000美元的购买单，但当可重复使用的设备被退回时，这份订单将被退还。这些实验是与近年来在乔治敦大学和其他地方举办的国家科学基金会资助的教师研讨会一起设计和开发的。参加了暑期工作坊和学校自己的课堂的教师对它们进行了测试。由合作伙伴分担的费用将占国家科学基金会资金的120%。
