Team:Danci-K8/Team

The “FLAVOFF" team

Danciger Darca Comprehensive High School is situated in the northernmost city in Israel - Kiryat Shmona. The city is at a crossroad between Lebanon and Syria, the city has been bombed numerous times over the years from Lebanon due to the tense situation in the region.

Kiryat Shmona has one central comprehensive high school with 1400 students from seventh through twelfth grade. Darca Danciger is a public school.

The school is a public school housing 1400 students. There are a variety of students starting with students of excellence who are aimed at dealing with engineering fields in the future, medicine and trade in Israel. The school has 8 classes for students with special needs including regular students and youth at risk. The school students are Israeli citizens, former Lebanese citizens and residents from the Golan Heights (former Syrian citizens). The school practices and educates tolerance and love towards the other.

With a goal to pass on the knowledge in Synthetic Biology all around the country to the different religions, the city’s residents, the Kibbutz and village, to senior students and young children as well as the blind and elderly, all of these audiences met our Biotechnology major students in order to get introduced to another field of knowledge – Synthetic Biology.

Since Israel is an immigrants' country, we tried to determine if origin changes the phenotype and genotype of the sense of taste.

You are invited to dive into the MAGIC of TASTE…
