Hahnville High School teacher Tyler Dufrene was selected to participate in the Smithsonian Science Education Academies for Teachers (SSEAT) "Biodiversity"--a week-long, all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., where he participated in museum tours, lectures, field trips and inquiry-based hands-on activities, along with opportunities to go behind-the-scenes of the Smithsonian.
