Building with Biology Blog

Congratulations to the recipients of the Building with Biology 2016 physical kit. Building with Biology is one of several projects that extends the NISE Network into the its new identity as the National Informal STEM Education Network by addressing new content areas, such as synthetic biology.

In the summer of 2015, Building with Biology held eight pilot events which fostered Public Engagement with Science (PES) about synthetic biology by having scientist volunteers interact and have discussions with the public through forums and events featuring hands-on activities. Each of these sites helped evaluators gather data that describe the impacts of the Building with Biology pilot events and inform changes for summer 2016 events nationwide.
