Geniverse is free, web-based software for teaching high-school students about genetics — including simulated experimentation, critical thinking, and writing.  It’s produced by The Concord Consortium, a non-profit educational R&D organization in Concord, MA.  Using Geniverse, immersed in its compelling story line, students address challenges by generating hypotheses and crafting experiments based on authentic genetic data to probe for information.

During three weeks this January, The Concord Consortium will conduct online training in the use of Geniverse for up to 100 teachers selected from those who apply online by December 8.  See the teacher resource website, Geniversity.
