School Visits

To provide more people in general with a more accurate information about E. Coli, gene reconfiguration, and synthetic biology, we planed to conduct some School-visits. Finally, we have managed to give the lectures to 269 middle and high school students of 6 schools. Furthermore, this activity was a good opportunity to learn how our project impacted on the general public. The details are organized for each school so that anyone can do these kind of lessons in the future. Please feel free to use these as references.
Video

Because the public could not understand our activities well, The, we made intelligible videos to improve this situation. The videos are delivering over YouTube.
Card Game

We made the card game for the public to understand the basis of our project, TA system and Quorum Sensing.
An Expert

We noticed that ways of manifesting and expressing our project are important when we explain our project to the public. An expert gave us an advice that we should insert something extremely impressive for the public to summarize our project in accordance to audience’s satisfaction.

Symposium

We hosted a symposium providing an opportunity for students to think about synthetic biology.
Code of ethics

Based on the symposium, we have developed our original code of ethics.

Dialogue with experts

Through developing ideas aroused from dialogues with experts, we have created “TA system ~Queen’s Caprice～” and “ACA Dwarfs.” Furthermore, getting a hint from them, we have made experiments of E. Coli mutants secreting proteins extracellularly. In order to realize more efficient control of protein synthesis, this is an approach of our human practice activities from a perspective of economy.
