The Marine Biotechnology and Bioinformatics project represents a collaboration between San Jose State University, California State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB), and Moss Landing Marine Laboratories to incorporate biotechnology and bioinformatics into the teaching and learning of biology at the middle and high school levels. Based on an NSF-funded pilot, the project has expanded to include additional schools and underrepresented communities, new multi-media instructional materials, redesigned professional development, industry involvement and enhanced partnerships. Serving schools at the middle and high school levels, the project involves 60 teachers and 45 students, and will ultimately reach approximately 6,000 students indirectly by project end. Program components include a three-week summer workshop, six follow-up meetings during the school year, teacher mentoring, lesson development and a web-cast career series. During the summer students and teachers conduct marine science research experiments using biotechnology and bioinformatics. Through data generation (biotechnology) and data analysis (bioinformatics), scientific questions related to a specific marine organism will be investigated. Using the vehicle of lesson study, lesson design will occur concurrently with research cycle activities. Middle and high school students join teachers during the final week of the summer session to participate in the lessons developed by teachers. Lesson modification and refinement will continue the final week and during the school year follow-up sessions. Wireless web casts will provide additional teacher support, while monthly web casts for students will feature interactive discussions with bioinformatics and biotechnology experts. Undergraduate and graduate students at the partnering institutions who are studying IT, bioinformatics and biotechnology will serve as teaching assistants and will also provide technical support for the web casts.

海洋生物技术和生物信息学项目代表了圣何塞州立大学、加州州立大学蒙特利湾分校 (CSUMB) 和 Moss Landing 海洋实验室之间的合作，旨在将生物技术和生物信息学纳入初中和高中的生物学教学中。 基于国家科学基金会资助的试点项目，该项目已扩大到包括更多的学校和代表性不足的社区、新的多媒体教学材料、重新设计的专业发展、行业参与和加强的合作伙伴关系。 该项目服务于初中和高中各级学校，涉及 60 名教师和 45 名学生，到项目结束时最终将间接覆盖约 6,000 名学生。 项目组成部分包括为期三周的夏季研讨会、学年期间的六次后续会议、教师指导、课程开发和网络广播职业系列。 暑假期间，学生和教师利用生物技术和生物信息学进行海洋科学研究实验。 通过数据生成（生物技术）和数据分析（生物信息学），将研究与特定海洋生物相关的科学问题。 利用课程研究的工具，课程设计将与研究周期活动同时进行。 初中和高中学生在夏季课程的最后一周与老师一起参加老师开发的课程。 课程修改和完善将在最后一周和学年后续课程中继续进行。 无线网络广播将为教师提供额外的支持，而每月为学生提供的网络广播将与生物信息学和生物技术专家进行互动讨论。 合作院校的信息技术、生物信息学和生物技术专业的本科生和研究生将担任助教，并为网络直播提供技术支持。
