Professional Development Opportunities


Teachers from last year's summer coursesThe CBM offers a variety of summer courses and workshops for both high school science teachers and undergraduate educators. These courses/workshops focus on the synergistic use of physical models and computer visualization tools to make the molecular world “real” for students. The 2008 Summer Schedule is shown below. We invite you to read more about these courses/workshops, and submit your application as soon as possible, as enrollment is limited.

NOTE: If you submitted a signup form anytime between February 28th and March 25th, please resubmit! Your form was lost on submission due to a server glitch.
