Overview

The Bio-Rad Science Ambassador Program helps pair working scientists with teachers to increase access to quality science education — and foster a lifelong interest in science — among students from every background. This program is currently open to classrooms in grades 3–12 in schools across the United States and Canada. The program builds partnerships between the life sciences and education communities by sponsoring in-class events where primary and secondary school students conduct their own molecular biology experiments under the guidance of actual scientists. Students learn real-world experimental procedures while learning in a hands-on way that science is exciting and fun.
