“We can’t even begin to predict what the careers of the future are going to be, but we know that technology will continue to evolve and students will need to be adaptable and resilient, and they will need to know how to access and process information. These critical thinking skills will be essential in any kind of biohealth or technology sphere. Studies have shown that the best way to stimulate creative thinking and problem solving is through hands-on research and troubleshooting. By engaging students in lab research, we’re developing those critical thinking skills.” -CT Next
