The Biotech Workshop
Lycoming College is hosting this one day professional development opportunity specifically designed for biology teachers. Participants attend multiple sessions, each with a different activity or lab focused on both current topics in cellular biology and practical teaching strategies. Participants will receive kits to support the activities with an estimated value of $300 - $500. This workshop is unique because some of the session leaders are teams of high school students.
This year, Mr. Paul Andersen from Bozeman, Montana will be a guest speaker at the Biotech Conference. Mr. Andersen is an award winning speaker and science educator who has been featured on TED, Youtube Guru, Montana Teacher of the Year and was identified as one of the National School Boards Association "20 to Watch" technology leaders. He hosts a popular website (www.bozemanscience.com) which is popular with both teachers and students.  Paul has also been a featured speaker at National Association of Biology Teacher’s national convention.  Paul will bring his trademark enthusiasm as well as his knowledge of technology and science teaching skills to our conference this year. In addition to Mr. Andersen, teacher favorite Dr. Margaret Franzen from the 3D Molecular Designs, will also be guest speaker.
