High School Teacher Research Opportunities

The Kenan Fellows Program for Teachers at Scripps Florida has been created to expose teachers to current laboratory techniques and procedures. Teachers will conduct basic biomedical research in a laboratory under the supervision of a Scripps Research scientist. The program emphasizes the scientific process, research planning, bench experience, experimental design, and data analysis.  The program is also designed to create ties and linkages to working scientists who can assist teachers with curriculum development, and create opportunities for teachers to share information and knowledge with their peers.  Please click on the link above for more information.
