Dissemination of the project and presentations

With the purpose of raising awareness about iGEM among the forthcoming generations, we have made a series of presentations in different locations and media.The aim was to publicize some of the core values of our team and iGEM such as research, entrepreneurship and learning in STEM

Presentation in the faculty of biology of the UCM

Presentation in the "Biotechnoencuentro" from Almeria

Presentation in the TEMS school

We also consider it necessary to expose the project in a more interactive way to high school youth. With this objective we attend a school in Madrid: The English Montessori School.

The presentations delivered to the Year 12 and Year 13 groups included an interactive session using colored ink, syringes, PDMS microfluidic chips and optical sensors to show the students how our idea will work. It all got a little dirty as the room flooded with excitement!

A big part of our visit was to convince them that, soon, they will also be able to build their own creative and ingenious devices. A large chunk of the presentations revolved around Biology DIY (Do It Yourself), encouraging the teenagers (and, surprisingly, also some teachers!) to be innovative and scientific and embrace the fun that comes with that.

After the visit, the BIology and Chemistry teacher that had organized the talk got back to us to tell us how the students had been impressed. Apparently, given it was the beginning of the semester, a couple of indecisive highschoolers had changed their mind and had finally decided to switch to the STEM track of the Spanish Baccalaureate!

We would like to thank The English Montessori School for inviting us and arranging the visit.
