BRITE Teacher’s Training Workshop

This three-week program welcomes middle teachers into the labs at Baylor College of Medicine. Through hands-on research experiences and exposure to cutting-edge biotechnology at various Advanced Technology Cores, teachers will develop lesson plans to implement in their classrooms, enhancing their Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) instruction.

• Application will be available soon for middle school teachers.
• Participants who complete the three weeks summer program and the year-long follow-up program will receive a stipend.
