Bioterrorism 2020 Simulation: The year is 2020 and you have been exposed to a bio agent in a bioterrorist attack. The agent can cause widespread sickness and possibly death, which results in creating immense panic and unimaginable fear.  As a result, society has been disrupted in a short period of time.  The SEA virtual, one-week-long virtual summer program invites HS students to examine the potential threats of bioterrorism, the agents that could be exploited, and the national law enforcement and public health agencies involved in preparedness and mitigation. Students will work in teams to solve one aspect of the real-world problem of bioterrorism and showcase their final group project with a Virtual Project Presentation to which friends, family, peers, and instructors are invited. This hands-on course brings in industry experts from the field of bioterrorism and creates a fun learning platform... (and great dinner conversation each night!)
