Using genomic concepts, the SoapyCilantro program demonstrates how minor differences in human genes can affect their traits and how this applies to the area of precision medicine. The SoapyCilantro Program is two-fold:
Part I of the program provides Iowa high school STEM educators with a 3-credit continuing education course called Teaching Teachers Genomic Concepts and Applications (TTGCA).
Part II of the program provides SoapyCilantro education kits and a lesson plan for Iowa high school STEM educators to use in their 6-12 grade classrooms.
