increases inthe service sector, manufacturing plays an important role in the gross domestic product (GDP) inthis region, and GDP shows continuous growth over the last decade [14]. Manufacturingrepresents more than 15% of GDP in T.N., and advanced manufacturing has seen significantinvestment and growth recently [15, 16]. We can use T.N.’s 1st Congressional District as anexample of area demographics. The area lags behind the rest of the nation with an overall povertyrate of 15.4%, while 22% of children fall below the federal poverty line [17]. Demographic dataare summarized in Table 1.In addition to traditional manufacturing industries, Tennessee as a whole has a thriving lifesciences-based economy. Bioeconomic centers exist primarily around Memphis

. Each lesson first introduces concepts in slides with vocabulary, emphasizingconnections to previous knowledge. Vocabulary is then used in the lesson's video(s) and again inlesson activities to enhance understanding in context and provide repetition.By and large, these educational tools were effective for building basic microbiologicalknowledge in the first elementary cohort. During the first lesson, instructors observed studentresponses to questions about general microbiological concepts (relative size of microorganisms,types of organisms, potential habitats, etc.) and used this discussion as a base to understandknowledge gains. Student instructor, Interviewee 4, observed that by the end of the coursestudents had achieved an "entry-level
