Ameritech Teams

Photo:A teacher and two students at the 2002 SMART Team competition A grant from Ameritech supported teacher-led Student Design Teams from nine local and regional high schools who were designing physical models of a biomolecular structure that would be used in their schools. These teams had access to the unique modeling resources developed in the MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling.

Goals of the Project:

To involve students in a project-based, inquiry-driven project utilizing cutting-edge information and biomolecular modeling technology
To create a collection of biomolecular models that will make the molecular world "real" for high school students.
To engage teachers in a project-based professional development activity.
