Team:Pittsburgh/Human Practices

How our project serves the public

Public Engagement

Over the course of the summer, our team visited camps and museums to teach students about synthetic biology, iGEM, and our project.

Camp BioE

We visited each of the four cohorts of middle- and high-school campers at Camp BioE on DNA Day. After our presentation, we sang "The PCR Song" and danced to the Bio-Rad "GTCA Song." Then, we helped the campers amplify DNA made of beads using the PCR process to see which table had the fastest enzymes! Take a look at our presentation slides here.

TECBio and DiSCoBio

Claire, Maya, and Aife met with the students of TECBio and DiSCoBio. Take a look at our presentation here.
