Building with Biology is one of several projects that extends the Network into the its new identity as the National Informal STEM Education Network by addressing new content areas, such as synthetic biology. This project also focuses on fostering public engagement in science by having scientist volunteers interact and have discussions with the public through hands-on activities and forums. Building with Biology physical kits have been awarded to over 150 organizations across the U.S. who participated in Summer 2016 Building with Biology Events.
Congratulations to the recipients of the Building with Biology 2016 physical kit! Kits shipped in early June.
A digital version of the physical kit is available at https://www.nisenet.org/building-with-biology-kit
