To High School Educators teaching Biology, Chemistry, APES, Biotech, Health, and other biosciences!!
If you are in the Central Los Angeles area or the San Gabriel Valley and you don't have summer plans yet, BABEC still has 5 openings for our BABEC Biotech Bootcamp to take place June 16-18, 2026, at East LA College, Monterey Park, CA.
Come join the fun, learn hands-on biotech that you can implement with your students, earn a stipend (additional stipend for implementation in the 2026-27 school year), and hear about the opportunities for your students at local Community Colleges with Biotech Programs!

Thirty years ago, BABEC began its work in San Mateo County, CA. 💗
The full circle of that moment was not lost on us when we returned to San Mateo High School for a professional development session with teachers from across the county. 🏫
Thank you to every educator who has been part of this journey. Here's to the next 30 years. 🎉

We’re excited to share an update from BABEC! Check out our https://zurl.co/hiJV4 site for reagent orders!
Educators who already use BABEC lessons may be interested to know that reagents aligned to our curricula are now available for order through our new site: https://zurl.co/cxeya. We ship anywhere in the United States to support classrooms nationwide. Our reagent kits are designed for a classroom of 40 students and are lower cost.
For educators who are new to BABEC, we provide free, classroom-tested biotechnology lessons designed to support hands-on learning. Our reagent kits and curricula go hand-in-hand to make implementation easier for teachers.
All proceeds support BABEC’s mission, to empower teachers and expand access to high-quality, hands-on biotechnology education for students.
We invite you to explore the new ordering page and reach out if we can support your teaching in any way.
Why was the DNA so relaxed on Thanksgiving?
Because it finally got to unwind! 🦃✨
Wishing our whole BABEC community a restful, joy-filled holiday—thank you for everything you do!💗

To a new partnership! 💚
BABEC was thrilled to host teachers Jessie Bretall, Matt Rupert, and principal, Lakeisha White from Compton Academy of Innovation and Technology for some hands-on biotech fun!
We explored lessons on micropipetting (perfect for their brand-new equipment 🎉) and dove into our Introducing Biomanufacturing Lesson Series.
A huge thank you to @HowardChan for connecting us with this inspiring team — we’re so excited to see biotech growing in Compton! 🧪✨

Thank you to the educators who joined BABEC’s Fall Workshop on our new Introducing Biomanufacturing Lesson Series — featuring lesson resources on bioindustrial manufacturing and a hands-on lab on making alginate pearls with lactase!
Participants explored ways to connect Chemistry concepts with biotechnology applications, while practicing industry-style documentation using batch records for production.
We’re thrilled to see so many teachers excited to bring biomanufacturing awareness into their classrooms!
