Resources — for educators, by educators

The KBase Educators Community stemmed from instructors looking to create and share teaching resources for using the KBase platform with their students. Together, the community developed modular workflows to provide their students with research-based experiences around bioinformatics and systems biology using KBase that connect to biological concepts.
