A large component of the C-CES Phase II Center's Broader Impacts efforts are focused on developing four distinct hubs of biocatalysis workshops. Each hub is not only geographically diverse, but also spans the distinctive resources and expertise available at each institution.
U-M will continue to host the annual Biocatalysis 101 workshop, and, in Year 3, will pilot a new Biocatalysis 100 Workshop tailored for an undergraduate audience. The C-CES has partnered with U-M's Center for Research on Learning and Teaching to iteratively develop the Biocatalysis Workshop curriculums.

Pennsylvania State University will create a distinct biocatalysis workshop that focuses on metalloenzymes. They have established a partnership with the Penn State Center for Science and Schools (CSATS) to design a workshop for K-12 educators who want to teach biocatalysis content.
Caltech will host two distinct workshops: one focused on microcrystal electron diffraction and one on single particle analysis. Primarily, these workshops are meant to serve both trainees and industry partners. Caltech's Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outreach (CTLO) will help with curriculum development for these workshops, as well as the ATOMIC Challenge curriculum.

Emory University will host a workshop open to undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral trainees. The workshop's focus will be an introduction to biocatalysis techniques, such as protein expression and purification, screening for promiscuous function, and training in kinetic and dynamic kinetic resolution.
Evaluation
The development and refinement of our Phase II Biocatalysis Workshop curriculum will be guided by our partnership with U-M's Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CLRT). The C-CES has engaged U-M's Center for Education Design, Evaluation, and Research (CEDER) to serve as an external reviewer for the Broader Impact goals of the C-CES.
