An increasing number of studies indicate that engaging students in authentic STEM activities and real research can not only more deeply engage students, but also increase learning. However, conducting authentic research in the classroom has its challenges. During this interactive session, we will discuss resources and strategies to help classroom teachers incorporate real research into their classrooms. We welcome teachers with both stories of success and frustration to join in the conversation, along with the Biogen Idec Community Lab, NOVA Labs, and MIT’s BioBuilders. Following the discussion, a list of all resources and strategies discussed will be created and then distributed to all interested persons.
