CTE Fridays

Fridays just got even better!

Each month, GBC welcomes students ages 6th grade and up to the Elko campus for CTE FRIDAYS! and some very fun and easy skills-building activities.

GBC is excited to EDUCATE, EMPOWER, AND INSPIRE students as they connect with higher education and future career pathways.

Special thanks to the Nevada First-Gen Network for funding CTE Fridays!

 

Projects

Here is a list of our upcoming projects:

Project date: 3/8, 11:30-3 (LUNCH 11:30-12)
Project name: "The Effects of Cigarette Smoke and Alcohol on Tetrahymena"
Project description: This is to investigate how the human cell reacts to cigarette smoke and alcohol, by using a human stand-in single cell protozoan called Tetrahymena.
In this lab, participants will be examining the effects of cigarette smoke and alcohol extracts on the swimming behavior, speed, shape and other movements of a living tetrahymena. Based on their observations, they will be able to consider how likely these factors may affect ciliary activities in the human body and possible human health issues.
