Our Plan of Attack
When you invite people to share in your miracle, you create future allies during rough weather
Shannon L. Alder
Amazing projects can be conducted in the laboratory without anyone ever hearing about the possibilities the research brings. With this in mind, going beyond the lab bench was crucial to us.
Our human practices efforts had three aspects. We wanted to tell our community, fellow students and the students of the future about the field of synthetic biology and more specific the exciting project we were working on. This was done by inviting high school students to join our team, getting attention in nationwide newspaper and taking on all the opportunities we had to share our experiences (see sections below). Secondly, we wanted to give high school student all over Denmark the opportunity to work with assembly of BioBricks. This Biosensor project reached over 200 high schools nationwide (link to the site). At last, our project is very industry-based which made it very important for us to consult and spar with relevant industrial companies within our project framework (link to integrated human practices).
High Schoolers joining our team
One of the most important thing for the us when receiving so much backup, enthusiasm and getting such a great opportunity as being a part of iGEM was to give something back. Therefore, we at the DTU BioBuilders fetched reinforcements in the form of three amazing high school students during the summer. Our three students, Sigrid, Tobias and Rasmus helped us out in the lab and gained valuable skills which will be of great value for them in their future studies."I could see a great potential of getting an amazing experience which would challenge and develop my skills within biotechnology"
Rasmus Hildebrandt, H.C. Ørsted High School
It was important for the team not to exclude anyone from getting the opportunity to learn a lot during the summer and being a part of our team. This is reflected in the background of the three high school students, who are enrolled at three different high schools and had various experience with laboratory work and biotechnology in general."The project seemed like a great opportunity to get some laboratory experience and I hoped for an educational experience by participating in an official research project"
Sigrid Kristensen, Bagsværd High School
Common for all of them, though, was the eagerness to learn, their enthusiasm about the project and their ability to ask questions and challenge us on our basic biotechnology knowledge and skills!"I would like to experience the laboratory work in projects like this and improve my competences"
Tobias Bertramsen, Borupgaard High School
We asked Sigrid, Tobias and Rasmus after the summer: “What was the best part about joining the DTU iGEM team?”
They all agreed that the great insight in synthetic biology and laboratory work were very valuable for them. Especially the high degree of freedom they had, due to our believe in them succeeding with guidance, helped the students with gaining confidence within an relatively unknown scientific field.
What we are most proud of on the team are the feedback we got from them about our team spirit and willingness to share our knowledge and further that their participation have opened their eyes for this very exciting field of study.
Award: Extraordinary Skills
The DTU BioBuilders team is recognized by DTU as a “Blue Dot Project”. DTU Blue Dot is the story of a sustainable society, where students work as real-life engineers.
This year all team members of the DTU iGEM team received a diploma by the innovation department for showing extraordinary skills and contribution to the project. Being a DTU Blue Dot project is great honour which shows that DTU acknowledge the potential, impact and importance along with the huge amount of work we have put into our project.
“The name ’Blue Dot’ refers to the Earth, which - although it is huge - looks like a small blue dot when viewed from space. While big ideas can appear simple and tangible when seen from the outside, from the inside they are often rather intricate and complex. The name ’Blue Dot’ thus also refers to an engineer’s ability to remain focus and see the big picture while simultaneously delving into the details in order to solve problems and challenges.”
Technical University of Denmark
Think Big, Think new, Think green
Green challenge is an annual event hosted by DTU and give students all over the world the opportunity to showcase their brilliant ideas for projects within sustainability, environment and climate technology.“It is becoming increasingly important for future generations of engineers to integrate themes such as sustainability and the environment”
Green Challenge, Technical University of Denmark
This year the DTU Biobuilders participated and presented our project “Yeastilization - from waste to value” in front of many bio-interested students, professors and officials - one of them being the South Korean ambassador to Denmark. The event was a great opportunity for us to tell about our project and share our passion of biotechnology with like minded.
Sharing iGEM with Future DTU Students
Has ut facer debitis, quo eu agam purto. In eum justo aeterno. Sea ut atqui efficiantur, mandamus deseruisse at est, erat natum cum eu. Quot numquam in vel. Salutatus euripidis moderatius qui ex, eu tempor volumus vituperatoribus has, ius ea ullum facer corrumpit.
