Student Outreach Biology Conference brings Teesside colleges together
14 October 2024
Teesside University recently hosted a Biology Conference for a number of local colleges to encourage students to looking in to studying biology and or science related subjects for future careers in Medicines Manufacturing.
Over 60 students attended the conference with really positive feedback on how the VR environment experience enabled by the RESILIENC Centre not only engaged them with the subject but also explained theories and principles they had been learning in a static environment.
The FourPlus Immersive PROTEUS Cell & Gene Therapy Experience VR app dives into the cytoplasm of a mammalian cell to see the organisation, then dives into the nucleus and even shows DNA replication in action. For visual learners this really supported there understanding of science curriculum relevant learning. You can watch a video on PROTEUS here.
