7th Grade Introduction to Synthetic Biology
We held several teaching sessions, where we introduced iGEM and the basics of synthetic biology, such as transcription and translation, to young scientists in seventh grade. They learned how to use micropipettes, as well as how to load and run dyes through an agarose gel. We also gave students different real world problems. Using paper biobrick parts, students put together constructs that would solve the given problems.

Kindergarten Science Experiments
Our iGEM team also hosted several kindergarten sessions to teach kindergarteners the power of observation and the basics of science. For example, we taught them how to use microscopes to look at bills and coins, and how to use refraction lenses to see that white light is made up of various colours.

Bioethics Panel
We hosted a Bioethics Panel, in which we invited students and teachers to discuss the moral concerns of our project. To encourage the participants to consider the problems from multiple perspectives, we assigned each of them roles, then had them answer some questions from the perspective of that role in a context related to our project. Next, we asked the participants to answer to the same questions as themselves, and asked if the role-play had any effect on their opinions. Generally, the participants showed concerns over the quality of wastewater entering rivers and oceans, as well as the potential cost nanoparticle treatment can cause.
