We also went to University of Costa Rica (UCR), where we spoke with people of Biology, Microbiology, and Pharmacy, and to the National University (UNA), where we talked to students of Biology.

SynBioThon 2016
Rewriting the code
SynBioThon 2016 (SBT16) is a Synthetic Biology competition, in which teams of students work for a weekend to create an in silico genetic device that can solve some kind of problem. SBT16 was organized not only as a mean to promote Synthetic Biology within the community but also to make aware about the importance of the application of Synthetic Biology as a high potential tool that allows technological development in Costa Rica. As an iGEM team, we wanted to improve innovation, creativity, and teamwork among participants; we worked to generate a space for student’s active participation in science.
