Inspiring society’s future scientists
The world of genomics is fascinating, but has a reputation for being a difficult subject. And the field is rapidly changing, making it nearly impossible to keep abreast of major discoveries and the impact genomics is having on our lives.
At Genome BC, we think students can have fun while they learn about genomics. The more you learn about genomics, and the fundamental impact it’s having on all aspects of our lives, the more interesting and relevant it becomes.
We’ve developed scientifically accurate and highly engaging resources to help you stay on top of recent developments in the field of genomics AND engage your students:
- engaging information articles: background pieces and articles profiling new discoveries
- hands on, experiential learning materials and experiences to help grades 9-12 students understand the fundamentals of genomics – can be taken directly into the classroom to supplement your existing science curriculum
- teacher workshops to help you bring our resources into your classroom
