3rd National Biotechnology Education Conference for Teachers (NBECT 2011)
This is to invite colleagues in Biotechnology and FILTRIBE members to participate in the 2011 National Biotechnology Education Conference for Teachers which will coincide with the activities of the National Biotechnology Week this coming November. This year, the conference will feature “One Act Plays” by high school students with the theme “Current Trends in Biotechnology and Prospects for the Future”. At the same time that we are entertained, we expect to learn more about Biotechnology from the presentations. There will be activities and contests for teachers to join. Moreover, come in costumes or T-shirts with biotechnology designs and message and win valuable prizes. Let us meet once again, support our students interested in Biotechnology, and learn new things about Biotechnology.
This event will be scheduled within the Biotech Week on November 25, 2011 at the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority, FPA Bldg, BAI Compund, Visayas Ave., Diliman, Quezon City. The Pre- registration fee will be Php 500.00 and On-site registration fee will be Php 700.00 which will entitle participants to a conference kit, lunch and snacks, and give aways. Hope to see you all in this NBECT celebration once again. Cheers..!
