IMPACT 7
A BRIGHT FUTURE

Hands-on labs and the on-site visits to industry and research
centers have exposed Fellows to skills, equipment and an
unlimited pool of bioscience career pathways for STEM graduates.
Fellows learned how to make connections to help students see
the real-world relevance of their STEM coursework by translating
what they learned into modules, experiments and learning
activities.

On a broader level, the BIFP model itself fills an unmet need for
the STEM education community – giving instructors first-hand
experience so they can both inspire and prepare STEM students
for rewarding bioscience careers. The partnerships and new
instructional methods forged by the BIFP model will continue to
deliver greater opportunities for educators, students and industry
far into the future.
Fellows explore the future of nanoscience with Dr. Daniel Herr at JSNN.
