Who We Are

This website is developed to support the mission of scientific education for home study school, charter schools, educators, and to help parents with homeschooling of their children, especially in science, and for grades K-12.

BioVoyage Institute (BioVoyage) is an independent organization dedicated to improving education, scientific knowledge, and scientific research about the present and future impact of biotechnology, bioscience and biomedicine on society. We offer textbooks, e-books, CDs, and curriculum development, implementation, assessment, and professional development services to schools (charter schools, home, private and public schools); school districts; and educational agencies and organizations.

We publish biotechnology textbooks, e-books, science books and CDs. Likewise, we offer educational and research programs to support teachers, students, communities and general audiences to raise awareness and understanding of the present and future of biotechnology on our society.

We specialize in standards-based biotechnology curriculum (science) education across all grades (kindergarten, elementary, middle, high school and adult literacy education).

Our Mission

Our mission is to advance knowledge and educate through home school, charter school, private school and the public school environments; to teachers and the community about biotechnology and its immense potential for solving human health, food, and environmental challenges. BioVoyage aims at improving learning, teaching and human development in a diverse, rapidly changing scientific world.

BioVoyage is committed to creating, developing, disseminating and preserving scientific knowledge in biotechnology, while working in partnership with students, educators and communities to effect change from “grass-roots” national to international levels.

BioVoyage is dedicated to providing students, teachers, and the community with biotechnology education that combines rigorous academic study, curiosity through research and experiments, and excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse industry involvement.

BioVoyage is committed to encourage each member of its organization to develop the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of all people, races, and creeds.

To Achieve This, We Will

Educate teachers, especially those in economically disadvantaged communities (and poorly funded schools), and those home school providers and teachers who are not involved in biotechnology. This will be accomplished through professional development and support materials, workshops, seminars, and support of local teacher programs.

Encourage students to pursue careers in biotechnology sciences, through education, hands-on experience (laboratory experiments), workshops, publications and award programs.

Inform policy makers, media, and other opinion leaders through seminars, roundtables, research reports and white papers.

Whom Do We Serve?

BioVoyage works with schools (private and public, home school, charter school, etc), school districts, State Departments of Education, communities, and foundations to support the creation, development and implementation of biotechnology standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

BioVoyage assignments primarily consist of biotechnology curriculum development, training of teachers, establishing of laboratories, workshops, support for on-site implementation, development and dissemination of products, materials and information; research and development; and program evaluation.

Our Goals

Within five (5) years:

• To educate 25,000 teacher-leaders (especially kindergarten, elementary, middle school and high school) and 500,000 students through education, hands-on workshops that introduce labs and teacher-tested activities to bring biotechnology into the classroom and work place.
• To increase the number of K-12 school students pursuing biotechnology studies through education, and exposure to laboratory experiments, and to link schools and students with biotechnology industry mentors.
• To raise general public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of biotechnology through an interactive website that provides reliable information and perspectives on biotechnology.
• Host educational forums that focus on timely biotechnology topics for key government officials, policy leaders, members of the academic community, industry representatives and the press.
