Morgridge Outreach Experiences Workshops

Our team currently offers two workshops focused on human pluripotent stem cells. These programs offer a unique opportunity for participants to not only learn about stem cells, but actually look at the cells in a laboratory setting.

Group Size: 15-30 people
Length: 2 hours
Cost: $50/group*

• Stem Cells 101 Lecture: Learn about the history, science, ethics and potential applications of stem cells.
• Microscope Demo: View and discuss differences between embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells.
• Stem Cell Trivia: Students compete with classmates to see who has learned the most about stem cells.

• Instructional Resources: Our pre- and post-workshop teaching resources will help reinforce stem cell learning objectives. 

Group Size: 15 or fewer people
Length: 2-2.5 hours
