Team:Lethbridge HS/Human Practices





This year members of our team engaged in a variety of human practices activities. These ranged from educational activities involving the community, such as a parent-teacher night, where we introduced parents from our community to iGEM and steam initiatives, and a forum at city hall to create awareness of the great upsides to iGEM. We conducted interviews with experts in the ink, business, and environmental fields, such as Dave Warwick of Warwick Printing Co., and Greg Vilk from the University of Lethbridge. We have also explored possible synthetic biology integration into our public school system, beginning with an interview of a local elementary school teacher, Sheanne Cox.

Overall, the criteria for silver and gold medal requirements in human practices was met (as can be seen by exploring the wiki pages).
