A group of professionals from the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) has produced, in collaboration with a group of schoolteachers in Cali, Colombia, Spanish-language educational materials related to biotechnology. These are now available as a CD-ROM entitled "La Biotecnología en el salón de clases" (Biotechnology goes to school), which aims to create a space where students can learn about biotechnology and become familiar with several of its techniques. See http://www.ciat.cgiar.org/biotechnology/launching_cd.htm or contact [email protected] for more information. CIAT is one of the 15 research centres supported by the CGIAR.
