2026 Auburn GREAT Workshop

Modern genomic research generates vast amounts of data. How can we help students compose analytical questions and use available data to answer those questions? In this seventh round of GREAT workshops, we dive into data puzzles, looking at new ways of introducing students to data and analytical tools. Engage with FILTERED, HudsonAlpha's game-based introduction to using computational thinking, learn how to puzzle-solving skills could help evade poison exons, and make statistical analysis more approachable for your students. Attending teachers will receive access to digital materials and three new pilot HudsonAlpha kits.
