Teen Bio-Tech Challenge

Teen Bio-Tech Challenge is a science challenge that encourages high school students to demonstrate their understanding of biotechnology's impact on our world. Participating students develop research and presentation skills, and most importantly, have fun learning about new technologies.  Students in our Biology classes this year had the opportunity to participate in this challenge which includes the building of a website to communicate their findings as they research the areas of Agricultural Biotechnology; Computational & Systems Biology; Drug Discovery & Biomanufacturing; Environmental Biotechnology; Nanobiotechnology; Personal Genomics & Human Health; and Regenerative Medicine.  Our students did at STELLAR job on their websites and in demonstrating their understanding in these areas.  We encourage you to take a look at our students websites by following the links here:
