THE BIOTECHNOLOGY OUTREACH EDUCATION CENTER
curiosity meets discovery
At the Biotechnology Outreach Education Center (BOEC), we believe curiosity is the spark that drives discovery. Our mission is to ignite that spark in K–12 teachers and students by creating authentic science experiences that connect classrooms to the cutting-edge research happening at Iowa State University.
