<p>Over the last few years, we have seen teams produce some truly outstanding work in the areas of education and public engagement. Innovative educational tools and public engagement activities have the ability to discuss the science behind synthetic biology, spark new scientific curiosity and establish a public dialogue about synthetic biology from voices/views outside the lab.

Public Engagements

For public engagement, our team participated in “Reptile Day,” at a local museum. While we didn’t showcase any turtles or snakes, our booth did gain quite a lot of attention from younger kids. We used a “Building with Biology,” kit to make DNA visible, awakening the participants interest in synthetic biology and genetics.

While we helped the kids with the experiment, we also discussed synthetic biology with parents, explaining iGEM’s purpose, as well as the basics of what iGEM wished to accomplish. While some of the parents knew the basics of biology, others were quite knowledgeable, and we were able to have intelligent, thought provoking discussions.
