Whyville Gets $440,000 in Grants to Teach Kids About Biotech
Whyville recently received $440,000 in grants from the Texas Workforce Commission to build Whyville Biotech and the Whyville Advanced Manufacturing Center, reports the San Antonio Express in a more general story about the children's world. The two sites allow users to learn about biotech and drug design, leading to the creation of a WhyPox vaccine that was administered to 134,000 users by the US Center for Disease Control last flu season. Whyville is aimed at children from ages 8-15. Other fun facts from the story are that Whyville's demographics skew 68 percent of whom are female across a user base from 140 countries. The company, through grants like this one and partnerships with brands like Scion, is on track to increase its income by 300 percent in 2007.
