Bioinformatics and Medical Illustration
After seeing different ways of conducting and collecting research, students were able to see how all of the data is translated. They then saw the impact visuals can have in research and how they are created.Microbiology
Students learned about bacteria and microorganisms.![](../images/550x310/Bercin_micro_STEM2022.jpg)
