On Tuesday Ari, Steven, and India had a meeting with the Dr Egg team to consult on the scientific themes incorporated into their puzzle games and brainstormed ideas. It was discussed that one of us will be at a table with a game developer and 4-5 kids for 30 minutes at a time to explain the science background of each theme and have the kids develop game ideas. It was also discussed that we would do a 10-15 minute presentation at the beginning of the event to give a basic introduction to synthetic biology and our specific iGEM project. (Event will be on 18th of August)
