| − | <p>When carrying on a project, we must not forget that we want to impact society, make a change based on its necessities and offer solutions to current problems that affect it, but at the same time, we have to take care of protecting our environment by performing experiments consciously. Besides that, as a part of a society, we must obey legal legislations to preserve the order and the safety within the community. As it can be seen, science is not limited to the work in a laboratory; it implies a real understanding of the world. </p>

| − | <p> The project started as an idea for the storing of sensitive information. Throughout the development of the project, we got in contact with experts from the National Institutions of our country to know which are the current challenges in the area of cyber security, and what would be the requirements that a system for the storing and sending of information must fulfill; we took this to shape our project. Also, we interviewed a potential user that might use our system for the long-term storing of information. Finally, we carried on a global survey to know what are the current perceptions about synthetic biology, cybersecurity and storing of information of information.</p> | + | <p>We got in contact with experts from the National Institutions of our country and a potential user.Finally, we carried on a global survey to know what are the current perceptions about cybersecurity and storing of information of information.</p> |

Painting with bacteria, to get them in contact with synthetic biology if a fun and interactive way, besides that, we gave a lecture on synthetic biology and our project to these future scientists. In addition to that, we went deeper in our educational activities; we were the mentors and advisors of High School students, during the summer, who developed practical work in our laboratory for their High School Thesis. </p> | + | <p>We received students to do an activity called BIO-Art! besides that, we were the mentors and advisors of High School students, during the summer, who developed practical work in our laboratory. </p> |
