Our program included discussions and presentations about synthetic biology, the scientific approach, our iGEM project, cloning, GMOs and etc. Our presentations could be adapted to target adults, high school middle school or college students depending on their background in science and interests.

We even had the chance to interact with young children from elementary school. It was somewhat challenging to explain but there was nothing more rewarding than to see the astonishment and bright light in their eyes when they learned about how small bacteria really were.

==BIOTECHNOLOGIES’ FORUM==
 +
 
 +
The Biotechnologies’ Forum is a forum organized by the engineering school Polytech Marseille. Each year conferences are held at the forum with the goal of widening the students’ view of the opportunities accessible to them.
 +
 
 +
At the forum we presented our poster during the two days of the forum (3rd, 4th October) and gave a presentation of an hour about the competition iGEM and our project. We were happy to see that our presentation was interesting to the students and that more than 200 students participated.
