AMGEN BIOTECH EXPERIENCE (ABE) is an international methodological and experimental training program on Biotechnologies for Science teachers in secondary school. In Italy, it is available for teachers from Campania, Umbria, Basilicata, Abruzzo, Marche, Molise, Apulia, Sicily and Lazio, and offers them on-site experimental training, developed according to the IBSE (Inquiry-Based Science Education) approach, free instrumentation and materials for the implementation at school with their students.

ANISN, in cooperation with the University of Naples "Federico II", is part of the worldwide ABE Site network (including sites in USA, China, Singapore, Australia, Canada and Europe). In particular, the ABE Site Italy (http://abe.anisn.it/) is twinned with the ABE Site Massachusetts (USA) at Harvard University and ABE France at the Ecole Normale Superieure of Paris.

The training will take place in Naples for teachers from Campania, Basilicata, Molise, Sicily and Apulia, and in Foligno (PG) for teachers from Umbria, Abruzzo, Marche and Lazio, and they consist in three compulsory stages:

  • 1st stage: 4 consecutive days of on-site teacher training
  • 2nd stage: classroom experimentation with students for at least 20 hours, in curricular or extra-curricular time. (January - May 2020). The ABE Site Italy will support the teachers in the classroom implementation stage: experimental and methodological guides will be provided, as well as reagents and instrumentation (micropipettes, electrophoresis boxes, PCR) in loan for use.
  • 3rd stage: off-site participation in the Italian ABE community; access to the international community; small-groups meetings; involvement in public events for restitution and dissemination.
