RAIN provides hands-on educational experiences for local students empowers life science start-ups and small businesses and executes research in our downtown facility. true false 279068 0 0 RAIN Education: RAIN Education is focused on hands-on science education for high school and college students in the South Puget Sound region. These programs promote and help develop science-based critical thinking skills and teach laboratory techniques and skills used in biotechnology healthcare and academic research. As the pandemic continued well into 2022 several of RAIN's educational programs remained on hold due to safety concerns; however RAIN used this time to develop curricula including that for a weekly bioengineering program for high school students and a potential synthetic biology club for high school and college students. RAIN also restarted the Superheroes of Science lecture series that brings world-class scientists to present their current research to the community. During 2022 RAIN also expanded its Waterversity program which trains individuals for jobs in the water treatment sector. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics there will be approximately 10,000 job openings each year between 2021 and 2031 in the water treatment fields and these jobs generally pay a living wage and support their communities. Approximately 80 students completed at least one Waterversity course which qualifies them to take the state test to become an operator-in-training. This program is oriented to veterans late high school students those who are looking for a new career field and others. 122950 0 83613 RAIN Incubator: RAIN works to attract create and or retain small life-science and biotechnology companies in the Tacoma area.

RAIN continued with virus surveillance in sewage free community testing vaccine education and provision and evaluation of COVID19-associated immunity in response to disease or immunization. These efforts continued well into 2022; however as the pandemic appeared to wane in the later months of 2022 RAIN started to work towards developing post-pandemic programming including a weekly bioengineering program for high school students research related to invasive species and reductions in runoff of nitrogen-based fertilizers and a science lecture series open to the public.
