HHMI Biotechnology Education and Outreach Program (BEOP)

This program (BEOP) provides educational resources for teachers, students, and the public in the rapidly growing field of biotechnology. BEOP has two main components: (1) training teachers in biotechnology concepts and applications; and (2) loaning biotechnology equipment and supplies to high school classrooms. In the past ten years, the program has provided training to over 400 teachers throughout Illinois, including many rural and urban schools. The program also offers workshops and seminars for school groups and other organizations (see contact below).
