In 2008 and 2009, HSCI offered a Teacher Professional Development Course on stem cell science and approaches for developing effective curriculum in this area. The weeklong program covered a broad range of topics, from the current state of stem cell research to the ethical and legal implications of the science, and included visits to HSCI laboratories and facilities. HSCI also provided classroom materials, including educational DVDs, slide-sets, and white papers, in order to help the teachers develop academic offerings and classroom sections on stem cell science.

High school teachers participated in a week-long program that covered a broad range of topics related to stem cell research.

The course won't be offered this summer, however HSCI also organizes outreach efforts that directly connect researchers with those interested in learning about stem cell science. We welcome the chance to work with you in developing an event that is suitable to your interests. Please contact us at hsci@harvard.edu.
