Chicago Center for Systems Biology

Informal Science Education

Informal science education learning experiences are designed to increase interest, engagement, and understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Informal learning happens throughout people’s lives in a highly personalized manner based on particular needs, interests, and past experiences. This type of multi-faceted learning is voluntary, self-directed, and often mediated within an engaging social context. It provides an experiential base and motivation for further activity and subsequent learning.

Public Seminars

Seminars for the public are produced for Saturday attendances. The goal of the seminars is to make systems biology accessible to general audiences.

Exhibit

The Center is working on a conceptual plan to produce a traveling interactive exhibit about systems biology.

The Art and Science of Systems Biology is a two-day event that will feature public lectures on quantitative biology and an exhibition of winning pieces in the NSF-sponsored 2009 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge. This competition celebrates the grand tradition of the visualization of research—powerful statements made not through words, but through visuals such as DaVinci’s diagrams or Rosalind Franklin’s x-rays.
