This week is the first session of Modeling the Molecular World, and we have a group of excellent teachers in Milwaukee discovering the power of modeling with us! If you want to learn how to incorporate modeling into your classroom, there is still time to apply for our second session, July 17 - 21. We hope to see you there!

You Can Model with us in July!
Make your plan for next month's Modeling the Molecular World session on July 17 - 21! Modeling the Molecular World is for all bioscience educators, whether you are beginning your career or have decades of experience! You will:
Join a community of educators passionate about classroom modeling
Bring home over $900 worth of kits to your classroom
Apply, and discover more about the molecular world for yourself!
Plus, new 3D Molecular Designs team members are also participating in Modeling the Molecular World to deepen their biology knowledge and modeling experience. It's been a fun and educational week learning as a team together!
"Using the 3D modeling kits allowed my students to see and understand much more clearly than just watching a video or listening to me talk. Their discussions and questions for each other provided robust conversation, revealed misconceptions, and solidified concepts, reinforcing what they had read in a textbook or learned during direct instruction. In addition, allowing students to simply explore models without telling them the answer first helped them make connections and deepen their understanding of some challenging molecular concepts. But attending the Modeling the Molecular World workshop allowed me to fully appreciate best practices and background knowledge that I would not have had otherwise, which greatly benefitted my students!"
