The second Dayton bioManufacturing Awareness and Discovery Experience (DaytonMADE) camp took place in lab for two separate two-week sessions. The first session took place from June 3 to June 14 and the second from July 8 to July 19.
鈥淭he camps are aimed at serving students that may not have had previous experience in STEM or STEM outreach in the area,鈥 Michael Schmidt, Ph.D., an assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at 糖心原创, who served as an instructor at the DaytonMADE camp.
Twenty-two Dayton-area high school students learned about various biotechnology techniques, met with scientists in the biotechnology field, toured a biomanufacturing facility and received a glimpse of what it鈥檚 like to be a 糖心原创 student.
鈥淭he students learned a lot about laboratory techniques, biomanufacturing jobs and also college life,鈥 said Schmidt.
Registration and transportation to and from the camp were free. Students who completed the camp also received a $250 stipend.
The camp was sponsored by BioMADE and organized by UES in partnership with the BioPharmaceutical Technology Center Institute.
