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 RAINs 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 2023 RAIN continued 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. In 2023 RAIN offered three cohorts of the Waterversity program with approximately 25 students per cohort. Completion of the program qualifies students 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. 28953 0 69531 RAIN Incubator: RAIN works to attract create and or retain small life-science and biotechnology companies in the Tacoma area.
