Public Engagement
Synthetic biology has a long way to being completely accepted by the public, mainly due to lack of education about the subject. The Michigan Synthetic Biology Team held a few workshops in order to excite and incite younger generations to pursue synthetic biology!
Detroit
On a July weekend, the team travelled to Detroit to talk to kids in the Detroit area about our work and synthetic biology and to inspire them to pursue STEM fields, especially biology, at a collegiate level.
Ann Arbor Health Hacks
We WONNNNN
Girls in Science and Engineering (GISE)
In mid-June, the team helped out with the University of Michigan's GISE summer camp. We held two sessions where we showed middle-school girls how to extract DNA from strawberries and their own spit--an integral technique in synthetic biology! Aside from the activities, we explained the basics of genetics and synthetic biology. Despite the numerous spills and messes, the girls were intrigued with how the spidery liquid (full of their own DNA) contained in the microcentrifuge tube held all the instructions for their bodies! Hopefully, they'll be the next generation of Michigan Synthetic Biologists!
