In 2015, the MRSEC led the development of
an outreach course at Brandeis for Waltham High School students to strengthen
our engagement with the WHS community. The course was structured to
teach the students
biochemistry
using 3D molecular models,
hands-on
activities,
CAD, and
3D printing.
The class sessions were taught by graduate student and postdoc instructors
who received extensive one-on-one curriculum-development mentoring by the
Education Director and were encouraged to pursue a hands-on and participative
class format.
