Teaching in the emerging field biotechnology, Luci Levesque is something of a dynamic presence at Capital Area Technical School, which is fitting because she works on the front lines of biotechnology education. The technical school offers supplemental programs to secondary education students. In the yearlong biotechnology program, Levesque is one of the teachers charged with the task of preparing students for careers in biotechnology, medicine, biological science or other related field. Sounds like a straightforward enough mission, yet Levesque's energetic approach, work-ethic, and interest in the emerging industry has stood out, as has her ability to pass those qualities on to her students. She won the 2002 National Association of Biology Teachers Biotechnology Teaching Award. In 2006, she was named the Maine American Star of Teaching by the U.S. Department of Education.
