empowering educators
Connect your classroom to the front lines of discovery using open biology data and resources from the Allen Institute.
Inspiring the next generation of scientists starts with empowering the educators who guide them. At the Allen Institute, educator professional development is built on the same principles that guide our science: big questions, open data, and collaboration at scale.
‍
Our professional development experiences connect educators directly to real‑world biology data, cutting‑edge research, and the scientists behind it — helping bring modern science into classrooms everywhere.

designed for educators, built on open science

Our programs vary in length and format, but each one is practical, collaborative, and classroom‑ready. Educators gain direct access to Allen Institute science, tools, and people - and leave with resources they can use right away. Many events and workshops include guided tours of our purpose‑built research facilities in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood.

Participants have opportunities to:

  • Connect with working scientists and research teams
  • Explore the latest advances across the life sciences
  • Use open biology datasets and visualization tools
  • Learn evidence‑based science teaching strategies
  • Collaborate with fellow educators and Institute experts
  • Receive ready‑to‑use curriculum resources or co‑create new materials
  • Discover education and career pathways to share with students
