iGEM Concordia's Introduction to the Concordia Athletic Sports Camp:

Hey everyone! My name is [...], this is [...], and [...] ... We are all part of a science research team called iGEM. This year’s iGEM team is taking part in a science fair competition where we need to make our own project and present it to other scientists from across the world. Together, our team has created a project where cells - the really small living building blocks of all larger living creatures - are being covered in mini battle-weapons. We can control these very tiny armored cells to fight in teams against each other. From there we can decide which of these battle-cells are the champions! Now that we’ve told you a bit about the science our team is involved in, we’d like to give you guys a taste of how cool science can be. There are so many different things that science can be used for! We hope that this may inspire you guys to get involved with science, and maybe one day you may choose to participate in a science fair too, like iGEM. So what we have done is set up 3 different stations with some neat little science experiments. We’ll split you guys up into 3 groups, and each group will get the chance to check out each station for about 5 minutes. Then you’ll get to switch to the next station with your group. Here at Station 1 we have Nathalie and Farhat, who will be showing you how biology is important in making chemicals react by making Elephant toothpaste.
