CKTC Biomedical Sciences Students attend BE4ANO Spring Visit at OU

Biomedical Sciences students from CKTC attended the BE4NANO Spring visit at The University of Oklahoma Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering on Wednesday March 24, 2022.

BE4NANO is a partnership between the Biomedical Science program at CKTC and the University of Oklahoma which focuses on engaging minority and underserved students in the Biomedical Engineering field.

Students were exposed to real-life research in which professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students in the Biomedical Research Lab at OU, demonstrated their lab practices and allowed students to view their microscopic analysis of that research.

This program will also provide a summer research camp to 6 of Caddo Kiowa Technology Center’s Biomedical Sciences students this summer.

CKTC PLTW Program Recognized

Caddo Kiowa Technology Center’s Project Lead the Way (PLTW) program was recently recognized for their hard work and dedication in the classroom.

To be eligible for the award, the school had to have offered, and had students enrolled, in at least three PLTW High School courses from any pathway during the 2020-21 school year. Also, at least 25% of students had to participate in PLTW High School courses from any pathway during the 2020-21 school year OR at least 33% of those students who participated during the 2020-21 school year had to take at least two PLTW courses. Lastly, the school had to have strategies and/or procedures in place to support reasonably proportional representation with regard to race, ethnicity, poverty, gender, etc.

CKTC Biomed continues partnership with Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at OU

CKTC Biomedical Sciences is excited to continue their partnership with the Stephenson School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma.

For the last two years, CKTC students have been exposed to university professors and lab opportunities through a program called Bionanotechnology Engagement for Native Americans in Oklahoma.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a 5 year research grant to this program which will allow our students to participate in a summer internship on the OU campus as well as provide scholarship dollars for students choosing to pursue a degree major in a STEM related field.
This opportunity is only available to CKTC Biomedical Science students.
