Learn.Genetics

We’re here to help teachers use AI in the classroom! Learn Genetics is partnering with Utah State Board of Education, The University of Utah College of Education and University of Utah, Kahlert School of Computing on a new grant from National Science Foundation (NSF) ! Teachers and students in Granite School District, Weber School District and Tooele County School District will help us design AI tools that help students *build* scientific reasoning, rather than doing all the work for them.

Thanks, for coming to Summer Science Day! We loved having 700 people come and experience the wonders of the world around us - and inside us!
