- Bioengineering is a cutting-edge field that affects our lives from the food we eat to the medicines we take - and soon, the way we think about science education. Amanda Strawhacker is creating a new technology called CRISPEE to teach young children about the ethical and social implications of gene editing. Amanda is a Ph.D. student at Tufts University in the DevTech Research Group. She completed her Master’s in Child Development at Eliot-Pearson in 2013 and received the Eliot-Pearson Research-Practice Integration Award (2013) for her research with a Boston public school on programming interfaces in kindergarten classrooms. Previously, she has served as the Project Coordinator of the ScratchJr Research Project, and as the DevTech Lab Manager from 2013-2015. Currently, Amanda’s research focuses on developing, implementing, and evaluating tools to support foundational bioengineering learning in early childhood education (K-2).
Amanda finished her B.A. in Biological Anthropology at Tufts in 2011. Her interests in early childhood education include child-computer interaction, developmentally appropriate technology, computational thinking, and creative problem solving. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I'm a 16-year-old learning biotech to treat cancer and aging. It's great to know that someone thinks this should be taught from a young age :)
Dear Amanda, I don't know if you will see this comment. I just want to thank you. I am a bioengineering student and I want to teach science to children. I hope I can. Thanks for being in me hope.❤❤
I'm a Bioengineer and this is really superficial, i'm not against teaching children (of all races and genders not just girls and "minorities") but this takes time and a lot of effort to learn, not just make genes and learn programing
I plan on going back to school to get my degree in Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology. I'm a 30yo male.
This title is objectively naive. Never tell a child they need to enjoy something, they can very well figure that out themselves, thank you.
"But why do scientists need to make the sheep glow?" Goes perfect with my geographics of my today! Terrill TC!

Thank you
How many 6 year olds want to be bio engineers? Not many.
No f u because yeah we want to become bioengineers and have the best genetics possible so stay shut and speak for yourself lady
Lady, I doubt any 6 year old knows what they want to be.
Why not give children real stuff - electronic microscopes maybe? Anybody here knows much much a CRISPR/CAS9 editing kit could cost to manufacture for kids?
Rain world intensifies
Why is this woman not in jail
Elaborate?
What?
This woman has a serious chip on her shoulder about white dudes.
She hates that which is superior.
i hate this
