Bay Area Maker Faire
On the weekend of May 20-22, the Stanford half of our team designed and presented a booth at the 2016 Bay Area Maker Faire. Every year, the Maker Faire brings together self-identified "makers" - whether hobbyists, professional designers, student science teams, scientists, artists and/or performers - to share their work and inspire other makers, even those not yet discovered. We were one of over one thousand booths presenting to many thousands of visitors.
We developed an educational program for our booth, primarily directed at kids without previous background in synthetic biology. We led kids and their parents through strawberry and banana DNA extractions, explaining the mechanisms at work and giving kids "DNA necklaces" - PCR tubes with fruit DNA threaded on multi-colored string - to take home as souvenirs. We put together a "DNA Origami" station where kids could fold colored paper into a DNA double helix. We used this activity as an opportunity to explain DNA structure and provide a simplified explanation of the central dogma. We also had a Bloony station at which kids could blow up balloons; at this station we explained our idea to develop a bioballoon, which might force us to expand our typical definition of a balloon. Finally, we put together a crowdsourcing activity: we took a big styrofoam board and wrote on it the question, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A BIOBALLOON?" We left out Post-It notes and markers, and passersby contributed to an ever-expanding brainstorming map.
