ThinkSTEAM
ThinkSTEAM is a non-profit organization with a mission to inspire and motivate girls by merging STEM and arts, thus enhancing critical, problem solving and communication skills. More info about ThinkSteam can be found on their website . We gave a presentation on the principles of synthetic biology, as well as our project and cloning techniques that were integral for our project. We also taught them about the concepts of transformation and selection, making plates, making and running a gel. Furthermore, we gave the girls a tour around the lab, emphasizing safety, and showing them how the Nanodrop machine, cold room, autoclave, and ultracentrifuge work.
