At the walk, we arranged activities for young children explaining the basics of genetics and the cause of congenital heart defects. Our iGEM team made bracelets with the genetic code for congenital heart defects, creating an easy way for children to understand the concept of single polymorphisms. We also discussed possible gene therapy to cure congenital heart defects. |

Our iGEM team leads science experiments where we introduce the scientific method to elementary school students and teach them about the importance of polymers in everyday life. These science days are a fun way to involve students and create interest in science at a young age. Our main goal was to educate young students in an interactive way not available to them in the classroom. |
