Stem Cell Pipeline Program
• Classes are designed for high school students• BTEC 5– seminar class• BTEC 6– stem cell class• Students start earning credit to certificates and
AS degrees• Students are recruited by their high schools.• High schools are recruited by the community
college.

What are the next steps
• Want to test at two sites Alamance Community College and Austin Community College.
• Will create two more levels of curriculum so that the course will be tailored to inspire students to pursue scientific careers.
• Already seeing high school students choosing to go to CCSF and into the biotech program in larger numbers.

BTEC 5
• Mixed class—college students and high school students are enrolled
• Class enrollment—usually 40-60 students total.
• Guest speakers from industry and academic positions present a lecture about their job and/or career path.

Evaluation
• Students must write a 1-2 page summary of each presentation, using key words/phrases from the presentation.
• In addition, there is an open note final exam.

Which speaker’s job would you like best? Why?

“The job as a business consultant/CEO for biotech companies seems to be the most interesting and
exciting. The most unique aspect of her job is that she is able to work internationally. I want to be able to work
in different parts of the world where the unexpected happens. She explained the peculiar market of China in
her lecture. This is what got me excited. I want to explore China’s markets even further. Creating a
business and making deals with other companies seems challenging. I like being challenged and I believe I
have the qualities such as being honest and having the confidence to make things happen.”

“The environmental monitoring technician job is the job I like the best. Her job is to curb the impact of human involvement in the environment to try and conserve environmental resources. I’d love to do something like that because I care a lot about the
environment. Plus, I wouldn’t have to sit in a lab all day; I would go out and collect water or dirt samples to
test for pollution. Also, the job combines two interesting subjects, biotechnology and environmental
science.”

“Out of all the professions of the speakers that I listened to this semester, the one I was most interested in
was research/drug development at Bayer Pharmaceuticals. The fact that you can create a
molecule (Kogenate) that is even better than the ones found in your body astounds and impresses me. Think of other possibilities that we can discover and create. I
seriously hope that the future of manufactured molecules can flourish.”

“ The job I would like the best would be the job of studying and researching cancer/ stem cells. Stem cells and cancer cells interest me because not a lot is known
about them. They are also a very broad topic in the health industry, and can be utilized to create many job opportunities. Stem cells are also extremely helpful to the medical world as its regenerative properties could
be used to save many lives, whole understanding cancer cells better to protect and restore people’s lives.
Perhaps with extreme and extensive research, we could someday allow human kind to regenerate body cells
after traumatic or surgical events and rid the world of many diseases.”
