Title: Choosing an InnovaBio® Project
Course: BTEC-2000-301-302-303-F21 > Section: InnovaBio® Research Project

The first thing you’ll need to do when beginning your InnovaBio® work is to choose a project. You’ll spend the your 100 hours doing experiments related to the project you’ve selected.

Some InnovaBio® projects were developed in collaboration with a partner company. Both parties have agreed upon the reasoning and objectives for those projects. You will want to talk with the interns currently working on the project as well as the InnovaBio® staff.

Other InnovaBio® projects were designed by students on their own. You are welcome to choose this option if you would like.

An excellent beginning to your search for a research project is this article (Links to an external site.) on the University of Michigan-Flint webpage.

I recognize that the article refers to a much broader scope of research topics than will be suitable for a STEM research proposal. As you select your research topic, be certain that it relates to STEM disciplines.

These websites can also serve as a starting point for selecting a STEM topic of interest:
