A hands-on workshop in plant tissue culture will be held at the Society for In Vitro Biology (SIVB) 2016 World Congress in San Diego (CA) on June 11, 2016. This one-day workshop will provide thirty teachers from community colleges and high schools in California with the basics of plant cell/tissue culture without extensive lab equipment. A laboratory guide and resources will be provided to enable participants to set up appropriate laboratory course work in plant tissue culture at their home institutions. In addition, participants will be provided with a one-day pass to attend sessions on biotechnology and genome editing at the SIVB Congress on Sunday June 12. It is the hope that participants will be able to enlighten and ignite students' interest in the exciting scientific career opportunities of plant cell/tissue culture, and give them a greater understanding of plant biotechnology.Discussions between community college and high school biotechnology instructors with industry representatives have focused on the benefits of including plant cell/tissue culture into the science curriculum. This workshop is the result of those discussions and will provide hands-on training and information on how to incorporate plant tissue culture into the classroom. Participants will construct "sterile hoods" and gain experience in sterile tissue culture techniques. They will also receive instruction on how to provide lessons and ideas for their curriculum. All workshop materials will be made available online to ensure the broadest dissemination. Availability of "sterile hood" kits for check-out to classrooms may be set-up via the Miramar Amgen Teacher Support Center portal.

2016年6月11日，在加州圣地亚哥举行的2016年世界植物组织培养大会上，美国植物组织培养学会(SIVB)将举办实践工作坊。这一为期一天的研讨会将为加州社区大学和高中的30名教师提供植物细胞/组织培养的基础知识，而不需要大量的实验室设备。将提供实验室指南和资源，使参与者能够在其本国机构设立适当的植物组织培养实验室课程。此外，参与者将获得一天的通行证，参加6月12日星期日举行的SIVB大会上关于生物技术和基因组编辑的会议。希望与会者能够启发和点燃学生对植物细胞/组织培养这一令人兴奋的科学职业机会的兴趣，并让他们更好地了解植物生物技术。社区大学和高中生物技术教师与行业代表之间的讨论集中在将植物细胞/组织培养纳入科学课程的好处上。这次研讨会是这些讨论的结果，将提供实践培训和关于如何将植物组织培养纳入课堂的信息。参赛者将建造无菌引擎盖，并获得无菌组织培养技术的经验。他们还将接受如何为他们的课程提供课程和想法的指导。所有讲习班材料都将在网上提供，以确保最广泛的传播。可通过Miramar Amgen教师支持中心门户网站设置用于结账到教室的“无菌罩”工具包。
