Public and education engagement
In Mexico:

  • Only 21.5% of the population has a good understanding regarding scientific studies.
  • 70% believe antibiotics are used in the treatment of viral and bacterial diseases.

With that in mind, we took on the huge responsibility of creating spaces where we could establish a public dialogue about synthetic biology, providing opportunities to discuss the science behind synthetic biology and spark scientific curiosity in the general public.

We believe the diffusion and understanding of science is a huge area of opportunity in our country, which is why we put a lot of hard work into the Public and Education Engagement component of our project, accomplishing an outstanding reach of over 250,000 people through different activities, such as iGEM National Congress of Science, After iGEM, iGEM National Education Tour, Workshops, a youtube collaboration with Curiosamente, articles in magazines of national reach, three presentations in science conferences, two iGEM meetups, and a Science Seminar, just to name a few examples.
