Through professional development workshops for teachers and hands-on events for parents and students, the GENETICS Project disseminates genetics instructional modules and activities that we have developed or modified from existing outstanding resources.

Workshops range from weeklong offerings focused on genetics for high school teachers to full- or half-day long workshops in life science, genetics, or cell biology for elementary teachers.
