pgEd in your classroom this winter!

in light of our expanded curricular offerings, pgEd is seeking opportunties to teach, or co-teach, in high schools this winter.  Our materials address the social and ethical questions surrounding advances in genetics, as well as providing clear and up to date information on the scientific advances underlying these developments.

We make our workshops engaging to high school students by looking at how genetics impacts athletics, how families might make decisions related to children's genetic data, and the ways DNA continues to transform crime investigations. 

Geographically, Massachusetts and Maine - and more generally, New England - are the locations that are most accessible for our staff.  However, we have had success using our Tandberg videoconferencing system and Skype to connect with students from all over.
