Where do we go?
Beginning in 2005, the DISCOVER GENOMICS! Science Education Program was on the move. In September, we began started visiting the classrooms of our four founding schools while the mobile laboratory was being built. Since the delivery of the mobile laboratory in January 2006, nearly 2,000 students the Washington Metropolitan Area from over 75 schools have participated in 9,200 hands-on activities on it. The DISCOVER GENOMICS! Mobile Laboratory visits schools within a 50-mile radius of Rockville bound by the Chesapeake Bay.
Additionally, the DISCOVER GENOMICS! Science Education Program loans equipment and offerings in-classroom teaching or assisting with qualified teachers. This academic year, 2007-2008, the DISCOVER GENOMICS! Mobile Equipment has been formally launched to reach out schools within a 75-mile radius of Rockville bound by the Chesapeake Bay.
