SMART Teams Projects
SMART Teams introduce students to the real world of science as it’s practiced in active research labs. Teams of high school students collaborate with teachers, scientists, and 3D Molecular Designs (3DMD) staff to research, design, and 3D print a physical model of a protein that plays a key role in the researcher’s ongoing studies.
