PTEI In the News

Spring 2010 Teacher Professional Development Dates Announced

Seamor ASSET Inc. is partnering with the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative, Inc., Carnegie Science Center, and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine to engage teachers and students in the wonders of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Targeting middle school students, the Carnegie Science Center has unveiled a new exhibit, “If A Starfish Can Grow a New Arm, Why Can’t I?” ASSET is now offering a 2-day professional development course to help teachers connect this exhibit to their middle school science curriculum and to the real world science of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This course is relevant for teachers teaching biological sciences (i.e., FOSS’s Diversity of Life, STC’s Human Body Systems, SEPUP’s Science and Life Issues, or similar textbook-based curricula). Mark your calendar for the next course taking place June 9-10, 2010. Read more...
