Providing Research Opportunities to the Next Generation of Students
Middle School Module
Molecular Foundations
Gain hands-on mastery of essential lab techniques used by scientists. Through guided experiments you’ll learn instrument handling, sterile technique, and experimental design. Build the practical confidence to run real lab procedures and think like a researcher.
K-12 Modules
High School Module
DNA Exploration
Explore how genetic material is isolated, measured, and visualized using modern laboratory methods. This module combines microscopy and extraction exercises with data interpretation, so you’ll not only generate results but also explain what they mean and why they matter.
High School Module
Genetic Analysis
Dive into PCR and gene-level investigations to understand how scientists detect, amplify, and analyze DNA. Learn practical protocols alongside analytical workflows so you can design experiments, troubleshoot results, and present findings with scientific rigor.
