We sought advice from researchers in the fields of nanotechnology and environmental science to learn about how nanoparticles impact the environment and our lives. Lastly, we contacted nanoparticle manufacturers, waste collectors, as well as wastewater treatment plants in both rural and urban settings to learn about current practices and possible future applications. </h4>

                        To learn more about the functions of nanoparticles, we visited a nanotech company that uses silver nanoparticles to make various antimicrobial products. The main researcher at Apex Nanotek introduced us to their main product, which is crystallized nanosilver antimicrobial activated carbon. Pure activated carbon, commonly used to treat sewage and industrial exhaust, is prone to bacterial growth. To overcome this problem, they integrate crystallized nanosilver into the activated carbon for their antimicrobial effects. One of their products is a showerhead, with nanosilver-activated carbon filters to kill bacteria when water flows through the showerhead. <br><br>

                            All work was carried out by student members of TAS_Taipei 2017 and conducted at Taipei American School's Sandy R. Puckett Memorial Research Laboratory, unless stated otherwise. Our advisors, Jude Clapper and Teresa Chiang, helped troubleshoot our experiments and offered suggestions on all aspects of our project.

We tested the product by comparing SEM images between tap water and filtered water from the showerhead. The showerhead successfully decreased the number of bacteria and larger particles from tap water! However, we also observed more nanoparticles in the filtered water sample, which will flow into wastewater.

                        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.

ATTRIBUTIONS

All work was carried out by student members of TAS_Taipei 2017 and conducted at Taipei American School's Sandy R. Puckett Memorial Research Laboratory, unless stated otherwise. Our advisors, Jude Clapper and Teresa Chiang, helped troubleshoot our experiments and offered suggestions on all aspects of our project.

TEAM TRAINING & PROJECT START

  • Does your institution teach an iGEM or synthetic biology course? Taipei American School teaches a year long synthetic biology course. During the first semester, students learn synthetic biology techniques in both classroom and laboratory settings. During the second semester and over the summer, students work on their iGEM project.
  • When did you start this course? TAS started this course in 2013. The 2017 TAS_Taipei team began taking this class in August 2016.
  • Are the syllabus and course materials freely available online? We follow the BioBuilder curriculum (biobuilder.org).
  • When did you start your brainstorming? October 2016
  • When did you start in the lab? August 2016
  • When did you start working on your project? October 2016
