Biotech-Reep Partnership

乔治敦大学全国生物教师协会， 和Edvotek，公司，已经形成了伙伴关系，使 现代分子生物学实验引入中学 课程适合所有学校。 将通过研讨会介绍 高中教师进行适当的实验，然后他们将 能够从Edvotek获得必要的材料和设备， 该公司开发了一系列廉价的实验室设备， 专为高中生设计。 只要90美元， 消耗品和运输的实际成本，学校将能够 获得包含所有必要材料、设备和 指令 设备必须在四周内归还， Edvotek，在那里将补充试剂盒并为 重新发货 学校必须提供1000美元的采购订单， 在订购套件时，套件的成本，但这将被退回 当可重复使用的设备返回时。 实验设计和设备开发于 与国家科学基金会资助的教师讲习班结合 最近在乔治敦大学和其他地方进行的 年 他们已经被参加了 无论是在夏季讲习班和自己的类回来 在学校 由合作伙伴分担的费用将达到国家科学基金的120%。 基金会供资。

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.
