Your students could discover an algae no one has ever named.

Last year, our company, Algae Research Supply was awarded a phase 1A Small Business Innovative Research Grant by the Department of Education.

More than half of the world's photosynthesis is preformed by microalgae in the ocean, and in turn more than 90% of the strains of algae have remained undiscovered and uncharacterized.

We are building a hands-on microbiology program where students isolate living algae from real samples and log their findings to a national science platform, all funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

Phase I results: 117 kits shipped, nearly 300 students, real gains in science confidence, and our teachers even helped uncover algae strains with antimicrobial activity.

Now we are recruiting teachers to prototype. Should we be awarded the grant, phase 2 will include several rounds over the next two years, and every selected teacher gets a free kit and full materials.
