Nanotechnology and Bioengineering
in Philadelphia Public Schools
Our project, funded by NSF under the program ITEST, is a collaboration between schools and researchers at the University of Pennsylvania to bring latest science research into the secondary science classroom through standards aligned curriculum. We are a team of educators, scientists and professionals working together to increase student knowledge of cutting edge research in nanotechnology, medical and bioengineering research as well as interests in further STEM education and careers. The partnership between Penn's world renowned Nano-Bio Interface Center, the Graduate School of Education and the School District of Philadelphia, seeks to enhance the quality of urban education through the use of current technologies and continued professional development for educators. Through a solid implementation structure that utilizes networking and partnerships, we hope to create a sustainable and scalable model that can be employed by other school districts.
