Team:Pretoria UP/Human Practices
Human practices We interviewed energy expert Dr Surridge-Talbot to get valuable input on our project and learn more about renewable energy in a South African context.
We held a synthetic biology workshop and symposium, and presented to 40 high school learners at our university's "UP with Science" day.
We used various platforms of social media to create awareness of both our project and the fun we had during it!

UP with Science
UP with science is a science enrichment programme for high school learners presented by the University of Pretoria, and hosted by the Junior Tukkie Society and the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences. We presented to 40 high school learners from the larger Tshwane area, educating them about synthetic biology and its applications. The learners were shown interesting 3D biology videos.
Spreading Public Awareness of Our Project
We created and maintain a Pretoria_UP iGEM 2016 Facebook& Twitter page to spread awareness of our project.
We also had tons of fun while making two videos to explain what our project's about.
