NC–HOSA Conference
Each spring, NCABR attends the State Conference for the North Carolina Health Occupations Students of America (NC–HOSA).
At the conference, NCABR talks to hundreds of middle and high school students about the countless bioscience career opportunities available to them. NCABR's conference booth features a wide range of educational resources about those careers and about bioscience in general.
The conference is held at the Koury Convention Center, in Greensboro.
North Carolina Science Festival
In September 2010, NCABR attended the Eastern Region NC Science Festival, in Greenville, where it engaged in hands-on science learning activities with hundreds of K–12 students. At NCABR's booth, students learned about the different parts of the human brain by making clay models and about the many possibilities offered by bioscience careers.
Ethics Forum
Each fall, NCABR meets with high school students from throughout North Carolina at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, in Durham. At the day-long ethics forum, NCABR staff hold small-group discussions with students and mock exercises that allow students to confront ethical issues surrounding important bioscience topics, such as genetic testing.
