CRISPR Classroom:
CRISPR is a genetic biotechnology that allows scientists to rewrite DNA, offering hope for a new wave of strategies to cure diseases, solve food-shortage crises, and even help mitigate climate change. CRISPR Classroom, the education technology extension of the company, works to ensure students, and people in general, have access to learn about gene editing and associated biotechnologies. CRISPR Classroom develops turnkey biotechnology content for educators, aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, to promote critical thinking, communication, and collaboration in high school and college students. Additionally, by connecting learners with real scientists and biotechnology professionals through their Meet a Scientist program, they humanize the science industry in a way that supports connected engagement.
