Special Explorations for Teachers and Students (SETS)
SETS invites teachers to bring their students on campus for a custom designed one to three day science experience. Based on the goals and objectives of each teacher, CPET works with UF faculty, staff, and students to create an exciting educational exploration of current research concepts, applications and careers in the fields of science. Explorations last approximately 4 hours and include the UF Experience, a short lecture by UF faculty and/or staff, a site visit, and a hands-on activity. The explorations listed are examples based on past experiences. We are constantly modifying and adding explorations based on available resources and teacher/student feedback. If you have an idea for an exploration, please let us know. We will be happy to try to accommodate your request and design an exploration that best fits the needs of your students.
Advanced biotechnology and DNA Science Explorations take place in a teaching laboratory in the heart of the UF at Shands Health Science Center. As a part of the Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research, the teaching laboratory offers students the chance to use authentic research equipment in a true academic laboratory.
