Ms. Jones will use the Teacher Grant for Innovation to implement The Golden Bread GMO Inquiry Investigation Lab, which exemplifies innovation in education by addressing critical issues such as food security and nutrition through biotechnology. This lab targets the root cause of preparing students for the future by teaching them how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can help solve global challenges like vitamin deficiencies. By engaging students in hands-on genetic modification of yeast to produce beta-carotene, the lab introduces a disruptive and transformative approach to traditional science education, replacing outdated methods with cutting-edge biotechnology techniques.
