Our Impact

    For over 25 years, BABEC has helped build a diverse, skilled STEM workforce by providing educators with the resources, training, and professional networks to inspire the next
    generation of biotechnology professionals.

    With strong roots in San Francisco Bay Area schools, BABEC’s open-source, hands-on, inclusive science programs are being adopted by high school teachers across the country to connect a growing number of students to bioscience career pathways.

    The online resources are SO well done! The best I have ever had. Very little modification to make them clear and easy to follow. I have done two BABEC lessons and they are so well made that they made teaching online fun again.

    When doing the BABEC labs I consistently hear students say they feel like "real scientists."

    Well organized and scaffolded; flexible structure and can be used partially or as a whole. This unit can be used as is...superbly written and thought out...incorporates many skills and allows student collaboration and student choice/voice.

    The level of support really made the whole process easier and encouraged me to continue incorporating biotech into my curriculum. Thank you for the live assistance during the labs and for responding to inquiries so promptly and with such urgency.

    Really well thought out curricula. Great to see "old" activities that have been re-imagined with lots of consideration to NGSS.
