Biodiversity from Molecules to Ecosystems (BioME)

Biology is a great way to capture the interest of young students and see how science impacts their lives and the world around them. Biodiversity from Molecules to Ecosystems or BioMe, is a program funded by the National Science Foundation that places University of Arizona graduate students in K-12 classrooms to get kids excited about the life sciences. Fellows are from a myriad of life science departments from Ecology and Evolutionary Biology to Entomology and Cancer Biology. Partner school districts are Tucson Unified, Sunnyside, Flowing Wells, Amphitheater, Catalina Foothills, Vail, and local charter schools.
