The \u201cOn the fly\u201d course is part of the Teachers and Science <\/a>programme, organised by the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation<\/a>. This edition will involve the participation of nine leading research centres from around Catalonia. The overall objective of this initiative is to improve science teaching in schools in order to foster scientific vocation among students. This is the fifth workshop offered by IRB Barcelona within this programme.<\/p>\n

Fifteen teachers from schools from around Barcelona will be participating in \u201cOn the fly\u201d, a course that comprises 11 hours of training accredited by the Ministry of Education of the \u201cGeneralitat de Catalunya\u201d. Based on biomedical research using the fly model\u00a0Drosophila melanogaster, the course will cover various topics included in the curriculum for children over 12 years, such as mitosis, cell death, genetic diseases, and ethics in experimentation with animals.<\/p>\n

Throughout the two-day course, theoretical sessions and practical workshops are combined. Teachers and scientists share their knowledge in order to develop materials and skills that can be transferred to secondary school students. One of the goals is to forge lasting communication channels between these two groups and to generate useful educational resources to implement in the classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
