The Local Community
We value the inclusion of local communities in the world of science and we have tried, during the iGEM project, to actively stimulate the involvement of the people in the vicinity of the University of York in science. To this end, several of our team members visited Lord Deramore's Primary School during their "Science Week" in July 2017. We took some activities with us to introduce the Year 6 class to the scientific method. While they used our props to explore each of The Five Senses, we discussed with them how the scientific method can be applied to this kind of experimentation to come to valuable conclusions about the world. We hoped to inspire some interest in science and it seemed to do the trick! We got a lot of questions from the children, including some that we were not able to answer. Both the teachers at the school and our team were very happy with the enthusiasm that we saw.
