BioME (Biology from Molecules to Ecosystems) is a new five-year program designed to bring University of Arizona life sciences graduate students into Tucson K-12 classrooms to help spark students’ interest in the biological sciences. Funded by the National Science Foundation, BioME will engage and excite students and teachers by giving them a glimpse into the real world of biological research through the eyes of their BioME Graduate Fellow. Together K-12 teachers and Fellows will bring a set of unifying biological concepts encompassing ecology, evolution, genomics, biodiversity, and biocomplexity into the classroom.

The Tucson GEAR UP Project is a part of The University of Arizona’s Office of Early Academic Outreach. The program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education and serves eighth-graders in 14 area middle schools. The goal of GEAR UP is to increase the number of low-income, first-generation students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. The Tucson GEAR UP Project will continue to serve these students through high school graduation. Parking: Second Street Parking garage
