We held a workshop in Hokkaido University Festival from June 2 to June 5,2016.
This event aims to deepen understanding of DNA and gene recommbination.
We condctuded experiment, "Detection of DNA extraction from banana" and e craft, "crafting DNA strap" with explanation of DNA, gene recommbination, iGEM.
Experiment
Participants can see the DNA on their eyes.
protocol
1.Crush one third of banana with spoon; to break its cell wall
2.Mix well 10% saltine water 30 mL and detergent 2.5 mL; Saltine water makes nucleic acid and salt. Detergent breaks cell membrane.
3.Pour 1 and 2 into a beaker through coffee filter and filtrate them.
4.After 5 minutes or so, pour 100% ethanol 40 mL into the beaker slowly.
5.Then you’ll see some white lump. That’s exactly the DNA!!
Crafting
Participants craft a DNA strap and learn the structure of DNA.
They can bring their work to home.

After the activities, we took the survey and got 117 answers

We broadcast a talk about synthetic biology and iGEM toward people in Japan and Indonesia on Radio PPI Jepang, from 20:00 to 20:30 on July 28th, 2016. We believe people gained knowledge about syn-bio and iGEM through our talk. We spoke in English, Japanese and Indonesian on the radio. Also, Radio PPI Jepang is an online radio that anyone can listen to if they have access to the internet, so we could successfully tell people about syn-bio and iGEM, especially Japanese people who had heard about the radio from Yusuke, and Indonesian people listening to the radio all over the world. We talked about 4 things: what syn-bio is like; its history; its benefits; about iGEM and iGEM HokkaidoU team. First, we told listeners that DNA codes proteins, and that it is like a cooking recipe book. Second, we spoke about the history of syn-bio, from the finding of DNA double helix model to Human Genome Project. Third, we suggested many benefits of syn-bio, such as curing diseases or cleaning polluted environment. Finally, we introduced iGEM and iGEM HokkaidoU team, about when and where iGEM started, what iGEMers do, and our project in 2016. In conclusion, we succeeded in broadcasting about syn-bio and iGEM, and then enlightening people, especially Japanese and Indonesian people, with knowledge about syn-bio. After we finish the Giant Jamboree in 2016, we will again broadcast what iGEM’s Giant Jamboree is like, and raise people’s interest in iGEM!

I wrote an instruction about iGEM for school news letter called “Gakunavi.” The letter is for all the students in Hokkaido university, so I took care to make it easy to understand. I did not use difficult scientific words, and I compared iGEM with robot contest to make it easy for people to understand what iGEM is like. Also, I introduced about what Giant Jamboree is, what is our project this year. Finally, I told students to search us “iGEM HokkaidoU.” My friends said that they read the letter and get interested in iGEM. I believe many students in Hokkaido university read it, get knowledge about iGEM, and get interested in iGEM!
