Biotechnology Field Trips
The BTC Institute offers Biotechnology Field Trips to middle and high school students and their teachers. Designed as a 1.5 - 5 hour visit to the BioPharmaceutical Technology Center, field trip experiences include hands-on laboratory experiments based on molecular biology techniques and, for high school students, an optional tour of Promega's production facilities. Field trips are offered on Tuesdays-Fridays between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. This year's program features eight topics designed for students at different levels of experience. Several of these labs can be taken "on the road" to schools.
For more information about these field trips please visit our website at www.btci.org or contact Barbara Bielec at or (608) 277-2618.

Spirit of Innovation Challenge
This competition was created to encourage students to create technologies and products that solve global issues. For the past four years, the Innovation competition has helped transform the way science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) is being embraced by high school students.
Hosted by the Conrad Foundation, the Spirit of Innovation Challenge invites high school teams to use STEM skills in developing commercially viable, technology-based products. It is the only competition of its kind to combine education, innovation and entrepreneurship, giving students the tools they need to succeed and sustain a knowledge-based economy.
