Modeling Infection & Immunity: From Molecules to Cells

7P0A4490

June 22 - 26, 2026

Join us for a five-day summer workshop designed for high school science educators, where you'll delve into the science of infectious diseases. Experience dynamic, interactive models that bring to life virus life cycles, immune system mechanisms, and pathogenic processes.

7P0A4311

Our first cohort created over 15 innovative kits. In Cohort 2, you'll have the opportunity to explore and field test interactive kits such as:

  • Virus Infection & Immunity Kit©
  • Bacterial Membrane Modeling Kit© 
  • Antibody Diversity Modeling Kit©
  • Antibody Diagnostics Modeling Kit© 
  • And more! 

We can't wait to model with you!

About Model TeachersEducators at Modeling the Molecular World

Our 3DMD Model Teachers© are an exclusive group of ambassadors for the science and pedagogy of using models in the classroom. These exemplary teachers volunteer their time to share their expertise, passion, and innovative strategies for teaching with models in a variety of ways: 

  • Facilitating professional learning sessions at state and regional conferences
  • Developing classroom activities and materials 
  • Participating in field tests or advisory boards for new products and programs 

Best of all, our 3DMD Model Teachers© creates a community for learning, professional discourse, and innovation while networking with educators from around the country. 

3DMD Model Teachers© have all experienced at least one summer course at 3D Molecular Designs in Milwaukee. They commit to quarterly professional learning and networking meetings throughout the year that blend cutting edge science content with best practices in science teaching.
