Nos enorgullece compartir que el programa Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE) ha impactado a un millón de estudiantes de secundaria en 16 países. En México, hemos logrado beneficiar a más de 500 estudiantes. A través de este programa, proporcionamos a los maestros materiales educativos, desarrollo profesional y equipamiento de investigación, todo sin costo alguno. ABE no solo empodera a los educadores, sino que también acerca a los estudiantes al fascinante mundo de la biotecnología. Cada experimento que realizan les ayuda a desarrollar un pensamiento crítico y a explorar sus intereses en el campo científico. Sigamos trabajando juntos para inspirar a la próxima generación de innovadores y científicos. #ScienceMadePossible Amgen Foundation

Inspiring Future Scientists and Problem-Solvers by Getting All Hands on Deck! ?? ?? "I carried out a genetic engineering experiment without even being a real researcher!" said Yamagata Prefecture high schooler Rion, who’s just had the Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE) – an innovative science education program that builds bridges between school and real-life biosciences. Amgen Foundation, in partnership with the The University of Tokyo( #UTokyo ), has been bringing the excitement of scientific discovery to classrooms in Japan through ABE since 2020. So far, over 530 students from 27 participating high schools have gotten hands-on! How exactly? #UTokyo researchers empower teachers in bringing biotechnology into their classrooms by guiding them through the background science and lab procedures. A complete set of research grade lab equipment and supplies is also made available to students at zero cost, allowing them to experience cutting-edge biotech first-hand. Independent evaluation found that students exposed to ABE have increased interest and confidence in doing science and biotech. Globally, over one million students across countries have been ignited with the possibilities! According to Rion’s classmate Luna, "Through ABE, I realized that a career in research is a very cool idea!" ?? We agree with Luna ?? percent! How about you? #AmgenBiotechExperience #STEMEducation
