Past Interterm teaching programs:
Northampton High School, Northampton, MA
January and April 2011
This a very successful fourth round at NHS for teaching the taster lab. This time we had 11 Smith students teaching close to 200 students about how they taste and the molecular biology techniques to find out your genotype for the receptor that can taste PTC. As always, fun was had by all and the high school teachers are very enthusiastic about us returning next year for the final year of the HHMI grant that is funding this program.
Northampton High School, Northampton, MA
January and April 2010
The 2009 outreach program at NHS was so successful that we did it again. Twelve Smith undergraduate students conducted taster PCR classes (lecture and lab) for over 200 ninth-grade biology students at NHS during January and April. Again the experience by both the high school students and the Smith students was fun, rewarding, and eye-opening.

This is the second round we went to the NHS for teaching the taster lab. The first one went so well that they wanted us back! This time, we taught 100 ninth-grade biology students.
Northampton High School, Northampton, MA
January 12, 2009 - January 16, 2009
Ten Smith undergraduate students conducted taster PCR classes (lecture and lab) for 150 ninth-grade biology students at NHS. It's been an amazing experience for both Smith and NHS students.
We made "The Gate" of the Smith College website!
