About this Event
Welcome to Southern Research's Break into Biotech!
Break into Biotech is an engaging summer experience designed to spark curiosity and expand opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for rising 7th through 9th grade students. This dynamic program introduces students to the innovative world of modern science through hands-on exploration, real-world applications, and interactive learning experiences.
Throughout the program, participants collaborate on challenges and investigations that build critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Guided by experienced educators and mentors, students explore biotechnology-inspired concepts alongside broader STEM fields, gaining practical experience that connects classroom learning to real scientific impact.
Break into Biotech is more than a summer program. It is a space where students can grow their confidence, discover new interests, and connect with peers who share their enthusiasm for STEM. Whether experimenting in the lab, analyzing data, or working as a team to solve complex problems, participants leave with new knowledge, strengthened skills, and a deeper understanding of how science shapes the world around them.
