NBTO – National Biotechnology Olympiad
The NBTO wants to encourage the next generation to learn more about biotechnology and consider if a career in this area is right for them. Including a competitive component increases public knowledge of biotechnology. Schools have eagerly adopted the Biotechnology Activity Books & Work Books as well as the yearly e-newspaper.
The goal of the EduHeal Foundation’s National Biotechnology Olympiad, or NBTO, is to improve students’ understanding of science connected to biotechnology. All of the resources students require, such as syllabi, sample papers, and test specifics (such dates, patterns, and markings), are included in the EduHeal manual.
