In the seventh round of GREAT workshops, we explore new ways of introducing students to data and analytical tools.
About this Event

Modern genomic research generates vast amounts of data. How can we help students compose analytical questions and use available data to answer those questions? In this seventh round of GREAT workshops, we dive into data puzzles, looking at new ways of introducing students to data and analytical tools. Engage with FILTERED, HudsonAlpha's game-based introduction to using computational thinking, learn how to puzzle-solving skills could help evade poison exons, and make statistical analysis more approachable for your students. Attending teachers will receive access to digital materials and three new pilot HudsonAlpha kits.

Registrants must teach at least one section of high school biology in an Alabama Public School. Schools are reimbursed for substitute costs up to $85 per attending educator. Educators must complete the workshop in its entirety to receive take-home materials and receive PowerSchool credit.

Please register by March 2, 2026. When you register, please keep in mind that you are registering for the GREAT Workshop in its entirety. Failure to complete all required sections of the workshop will result in forfeiture of kits and substitute reimbursement.

Before registering, please review our and Forms. These are required to participate and will be included on the registration for signature.
