+ | Our goal was to create a considerable scientific background in various age groups by conducting engaging, enjoyable, and motivating activities, to make a significant change in how people around us perceive Synthetic Biology. We really wanted to present a perspective to all of these impressionable minds around us that fills them with a passion for this field, alongside presenting it as a lucrative career option for them in a monetary sense.<br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | We really feel encouraged and validated for our efforts by the response we got from school-going students, especially D.A.V. Public School Gurugram, where the response truly exceeded all our expectations.<br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will surely continue our efforts in this direction so that we can become a small yet significant part of the revolution in the field of technology. | ||

− | In order to give students a flavor of lab work, we conducted an experimental workshop in their lab. The experimental workshop consisted of simple illustrations and some hands-on experience for them such as Plasmid isolation, Gel electrophoresis, Inoculation, streaking, etc. We further encouraged the school students to make a team of their own and participate in iGEM and assured full support from our side. Finally, we took the feedback and conducted a small survey based on general awareness. The workshops were successful as we could see students really getting excited about the entire idea of iGEM and seemed to be enthusiastic for the competition. In Fact, we received a letter of Appreciation from one of the school (DAV Public School Sector-14, Gurgaon, Delhi).<br> | + | In order to give students a flavor of lab work, we conducted an experimental workshop in their lab.

Together, we have worked on the aspect of ‘Ethical Scientific Practices’. Also, on his recent visit to IISER Mohali, he came back with a collaborative offer for iGEM IIT Delhi to mentor IISER Mohali and help in the establishment of iGEM club there. On our return from the Giant Jamboree 2016, our team members gave a presentation scheduled there, initiated their team and thereafter our team mentored the iGEM Mohali team. |
