This laboratory equipment and supplies will reach hundreds of students in the MHS Science Department, MHS Science Olympiad and Science Club members. Prior to shopping, Dr. Forbes participated in the hands-on professional development workshop to learn about the Genes in Space contest. A scholarship was awarded to cover the cost of the workshop. Along with a cohort of teachers, she had a chance to complete a guided, hands-on lab activity using Biotechnology company miniPCR bio equipment. All participants were able to keep the kit containing the equipment and reagents they used to participate. Dr. Forbes stated she would like to thank all the companies who donate equipment and supplies to the Equipment Depot to support science learning in the state of Georgia.
