On-Campus Discoveries in Science: A Science Preparation Program in Biotechnology in Support of New York City Teachers and Students

金斯伯勒社区学院和布鲁克林学院通过以下方式合作促进纽约市的生物技术教育：1）基础和高级暑期学院，初中和高中科学教师在其中扩展生物技术知识和吸引学生的能力; 2）开发生物技术教学研究生课程，其中职前教师专注于现实世界的学习; 3）初中和高中学生有机会通过新的借贷实验室在大学实验室和自己的学校进行实验;以及4）创建和实施嵌入式虚拟企业模拟，大学生物技术专业提高他们的劳动力技能。 生物技术行业代表的投入指导了各项活动。评估技能、知识和态度的改善。该项目的方法和成果通过地方和国家会议、文章、在线电子社区和顶点会议传播。

Kingsborough Community College and Brooklyn College collaboratively promote biotechnology education in New York City through 1) basic and advanced Summer Institutes in which middle and high school science teachers expand their knowledge of biotechnology and ability to engage students; 2) development of a graduate course in teaching biotechnology in which pre-service teachers focus on real-world learning; 3) opportunities for middle and high school students to perform experiments in a college laboratory and in their own schools via a new lending laboratory; and 4) creation and implementation of embedded virtual enterprise simulations in which college biotechnology majors improve their workforce skills. Activities are guided by input from biotechnology industry representatives. Improvements in skills, knowledge and attitudes are evaluated. The project's methodology and outcomes are disseminated through local and national conferences, articles, an on-line e-community, and a capstone conference.
