Programas internacionais

Programas que Inspiram o EduBiota  

    Existem vários projetos e cursos que ampliam a educação em microbiologia descritos na literatura.


   Apresentados como uma estratégia complementar ao currículo, projetos e cursos de curta duração têm sido implementados nas escolas com  propósito de alavancar a educação em microbiologia e a literacia científica.


  A maioria destas iniciativas aproveitam recursos humanos e materiais especializados fornecidos por organizações parceiras externas (por exemplo, universidades), complementando as capacidades das escolas e envolvendo o público-alvo – os alunos.
