The visiting teachers had a chance to use the modern microbiology laboratory facilities in Elon’s McMichael Science Building. Led by staff members from Carolina Biological in Burlington, N.C., the four-day seminar offered teachers the chance to explore new ways of teaching complex biological concepts.

The workshop also gave teachers a chance to work with the latest biological lab equipment and test kits.
