Looking to bring more STEM learning, career exposure, and hands-on opportunities into your high school classroom?
The Common Campus works alongside several projects in the Manchester–Nashua region to support high school students, teachers, and schools with access to immersive, early college, and workforce-aligned experiences. If you are an educator looking to bring new resources to your classroom, these programs are a great place to begin.
STEM MoBILE
Bring STEM to your school without needing a new lab. Hands-on, on-the-road STEM experiences
The STEM-MoBILE is a mobile classroom and laboratory that brings hands-on science and engineering activities to high school classrooms across the region. Equipped with 3D printers, cleanroom simulations, and lab gear, it gives students a chance to explore STEM careers in an immersive, memorable way.
Manchester CREATES & NH CREATES
The CREATES programs are paid two-week professional development on a UNH campus that provides training to middle and high school STEM teachers from New Hampshire that helps them create formal projects related to regenerative medicine and biotechnology that they can bring back to their classrooms.
For your students, UNH Manchester offers summer youth programs for students entering grades 5-12 in regenerative medicine and biofabrication, providing hands-on experiences built from UNH Tech Camp curriculum. Programs are free for Manchester public school students and open to all skill levels, with an emphasis on expanding STEM access. Students from outside Manchester may also apply. See Manchester Tech Camp site for details.
LabXchange
Harvard's LabXchange is a free, online science education platform for STEM subjects, developed with the Amgen Foundation to provide students and educators with personalized learning, virtual labs, and community.
BioTrek
Project-based learning in biofabrication.
BioTrek is a project-based learning program designed by ARMI | BioFabUSA that offers students the opportunity to explore next-generation technologies, entrepreneurship, and career options related to biofabrication. During this program, students work in teams to identify a real-world medical problem, design a tissue engineered medical product (TEMP), build a business model around their product, and pitch their idea to a panel of representatives. With guided workbooks, hands-on lab activities, and a student-led structure, it’s a great tool to spark curiosity and connect schoolwork to future career possibilities.
BIOFAB EXPLORER
Biofab Explorer is a career guidance tool that can be used to discover the world of biofabrication. Included are available simulations to learn more about the biofabrication industry.
CareerXplorer
CareerXplorer is a free, online tool for that connects science learning with potential careers. It provides introduction to some different career paths, duties, education pathway, and salary information.
