Blue Out day and Bake Sale - March 23

During the March Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the iGEM team scheduled a Blue Out Day, when we encouraged ASIJ students wore blue to support curing colorectal cancer. To explain the significance of wearing blue, we made an announcement during a high school assembly where we introduced our project to the students and recognized a survivor among the faculty. We had a bake sale in the ASIJ courtyard to promote our research to the student population. The money we raised was donated to Colorectal Cancer research.

Guest Speaker: Minako Abe, MD- Immunotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

The IGEM team invited a local physician who specializes in using immunotherapy for treating cancer, specifically Colorectal Cancer. Her speech built our knowledge base and awareness to our members and ASIJ Biology classes.
