Public Engagement
Over the course of the summer, our team visited camps and museums to teach students about synthetic biology, iGEM, and our project.
Camp BioE
We visited each of the four cohorts of middle- and high-school campers at Camp BioE on DNA Day. After our presentation, we sang "The PCR Song" and danced to the Bio-Rad "GTCA Song." Then, we helped the campers amplify DNA made of beads using the PCR process to see which table had the fastest enzymes! Take a look at our presentation slides here.
TECBio and DiSCoBio
Claire, Maya, and Aife met with the students of TECBio and DiSCoBio =. Take a look at our presentation here.
iGEM teams are leading in the area of Human Practices because they conduct their projects within a social/environmental context, to better understand issues that might influence the design and use of their technologies.
Teams work with students and advisors from the humanities and social sciences to explore topics concerning ethical, legal, social, economic, safety or security issues related to their work. Consideration of these Human Practices is crucial for building safe and sustainable projects that serve the public interest.
For more information, please see the Human Practices Hub.
