2023 Spring Teacher Academy: Open Neuroscience Data Workshop

At the Allen Institute, we believe teachers are our greatest allies in making open science accessible to the next generation of scientists. We invite you for a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with cutting edge researchers here at Allen to expand your science teaching toolbox to include topics in neuroscience, open science, STEM career pathways, and more. Join us! This workshop is geared towards middle and high school life science teachers at any stage in their career who are interested in using open data resources in their classrooms, touring state-of-the-art science labs, and connecting with local scientists. Teachers across the Puget Sound region who are able to travel to the Allen Institute in South Lake Union at 4:00 pm on March 22 and March 29, 2023 are invited to apply. Applications were due on March 6, 2023 . Applications are now closed. Contact education@alleninstitstg.wpengine.com with questions.
