(04:30) - Sean and team discuss what BioSense actually is…
(05:25) - bridging textbook biotechnology with reality - what does this mean?
(11:45) - combination of the biotechnology team and education, crucial to creating this new approach to biotechnology education.
(18:35) - a network of educators, how will this work change the landscape of STEM education and STEM workforce development etc.?
(27:10) - use of high-powered computing to create zero-cost technology access to educators and students
(30:10) - conversation around the four identified “tangible” goals / outcomes of the project, namely: communicate, promote, inspire, and enhance…
(32:50) - educational modules for educators, what is entailed in the development and implementation of these modules? How this process differs from a traditional learning approach?
This project has been made possible by funding from the Department of Defense STEM program @DoDstem.
