At RESA, our team met with science educators across the region and held a workshop on synthetic biology. We showed them how to perform a simple pipetting lab, and created an actual electrical circuit to provide the audience with an example of our project in a way that they could understand. We also explained what iGEM is and how they can start a team at their own school. Our purpose was to expose more high school science teachers to iGEM, as well as encourage them to start a team of their own next year. | At RESA, our team met with science educators across the region and held a workshop on synthetic biology.

+ | Next Generation Focus is a non profit organization created to reach out to youth in economically challenged families in our community to provide resources to expand academic and enrichment opportunities. Once a semester, our iGEM team hosts a “Science Day” where we perform hands-on activities with the students to teach them basic science principles. By exposing them to engaging experiments the students do not encounter in the classroom, we hope to spark their interest in science. | ||
