“…With that, the SMART Teams (Students Modeling A Research Topic) program was born. The very first team formed the following academic year with a high school teacher and three students from Riverside High School in Milwaukee, WI (Goodman, 2002). As this first team was getting organized, the anthrax-laced letters had just been mailed to several members of Congress, prompting the CBM to encourage the team to use this current event as an engaging hook for their first project.…”

One goal of the NIH SEPA (Science Education Partnership Awards) program is to create partnerships among biomedical researchers, teachers and schools. The MSOE Center for BioMolecular Modeling (CBM) has leveraged the support from a series of SEPA awards to create a multifaceted outreach program that connects biomolecular researchers and their stories of active research with middle and high school teachers and the foundational concepts of chemistry and biology they teach. 3D printing is the enabling technology that supports this outreach program. For twenty years the CBM has pioneered the use of 3D printing to create physical models of proteins that engage teachers and students as active participants in the process of science, while at the same time allowing researchers to tell the story of their research project. Here we discuss the key components of our outreach program and how we've overcome challenges to sustaining the program for twenty years.
