                  <h3>Education and Public Engagement</h3>
+
           
+
  <p> Synthetic Biology challenges have only real sense taking into account the effect it has on the improvement of <b>nowadays issues</b>. However, it is also one of the most <b>controversial scientific fields</b> for the <b>public opinion</b>. </p>
+
  
<p>Currently, access to Synthetic Biology field is hampered by several barriers, such as the necessity of deep technical knowledge and high-cost technologies. In the same way, the presence of <b>common misconceptions</b> in regard to bacteria handling and genetic engineering makes it even more difficult to reach to the <b>general public</b>. </p>
+
              <a class="anchorOffset" id="Human"></a>
 
+
               <h3>Human Practices</h3>
<p> Thus, our aim is to break down all these barriers in order to increase <b>SynBio accessibility</b> into society. </p>
+
              <p>Science and technology have always been prompted by a desire of solving social issues. Thus, science would be nothing if it doesn’t exist a relationship with people. </p>
 
+
<p></p>
<p>To do so, we have created <b>Printeria</b>: a bio-engieering device capable of automating the process of printing genetic circuits in bacteria.
+
<h4><b><i>How your project affects the world and how the world affects it? </i></b></h4>
</p>
+
<p></p>
+
         
+
            <h4>Printeria: SynBio has never been easier</h4>
+
 
+
<p>Under the core values of <b>affordability</b> and <b>reproducibility</b>, Printeria is a compact device with which SynBio can be approached to the public in an <b>innovative, friendly</b> and <b>reduced-cost way</b>.
+
<p>Thus, Printeria has been conceived as both and educational and bioartistic tool. With a user-friendly software, it can introduce SynBio into the <b>high school classrooms</b> without the necessity of lab equipments. In the same way, it offers a wide range of opportunities for the <b>bioartist disposal</b>. </p>
+
 
+
<p>To prove its social </b>usefulness</b>, we have explored Printeria <b>impact possibilities</b> into society. </p>

<i>“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
+
-  Leonardo da Vinci </i>
+
</p>
+
<p> Art exists since the origins of humanity. Likewise, science has always been prompted by a desire of knowing more and more about the world, the nature and life. </p>
+
<p>While developing Printeria, we had the chance to get into the vast applications of the <b>BioArt world</b>: a contemporary art form that adapts scientific methods and biotechnology to explore living systems as artistic subjects (1).  <p>As a consequence, we decided we needed to explore the existant synergy between art and science by getting into the BioArt ways of expression. </p>

<h4>Printone: express yourself</h4>
+
<a class="anchorOffset" id="Integrated"></a>            
<p>While creating our <a href=https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Part_Collection target="_blank">Printeria Part Collection</a>, we wanted to provide bioartists with a complete DNA toolkit for their artwork production. To do so, we assembled several transcriptional units with our reporters (<b>GFPmut3, sfGFP, YGP, mRFP, amilCP </b>) and a variety of promoteres and RBS with different relative strenghts.  
+
  <h4><b> Feedback receiving: the key to the success</b></h4>
<p>By this way, we finally obtained <b>Printone</b>: a palette of pigmented bacteria, of different colours and intensity tones, for the entire disposal of the bioartist. </p>
+
  <p> When creating a new scientific device, the existence of <b>political, economic and social frameworks</b> leads into the necessity of an in-depth analysis of how your creation would affect the world and how the world affects it.  
 +
<p>As a result, our first step was to identify the <b>real-life problems</b> that could be solved with Printeria and so classify its application fields. To do so, we decied to employ the MIT market segmentation table,  with which we analyzed Printeria potential users in accordance with our project values. <p>You can read the resulting market segmentation analysis and how it helped us to focus our initial approach by clicking here:

<p>As a result, Printeria main applications fields can be summarized as: </p>
<p>We used this variety of colours to introduce, both ourselves and the general public, to the <b>Microbial Art field</b>: artworks produced with living cells such as bacteria. We were introduced into this kind of art thanks to the information gathered as part of our <a href=https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Integrated_Human target="_blank">Integrated</a> work with art professionals. The bioartist María Peñil, who works hand-by-hand with the researcher Mehmet Berkmen, helped us to in-depth understand the Microbial Art branch and its possibilities. Indeed, we finally sent them some of our <b>Printone samples</b>, as they were interested in testing the use of our genetic engineered bacteria to paint with.

<h4>Bioartist for one day</h4>
+
<p><i> How to attract people to SynBio? It is possible to achieve this challenge in a subjective and eye-appealing way? </i></p>
+
<p>While developing Printeria, we realized we had there the perfect way to approach SynBio to the non-researcher world in a nerby way. Thus, we organized the workshop <b>‘Bioartist for one day’</b>, in which we demostrated that Printeria potential products can be used to create authentic artworks.</p>
+
         
+
        </p><p> The activity took place in the <b>Mustang Art Gallery</b> (Elche), a cultural space dedicated to the diffusion of contemporary art. This workshop involved last year high school students of arts, science and social sciences, so we could interact with a wide range of different profiles. </p>
+
          <p>However, this activity not only involved students, but also their teachers and some local artists who were interested in getting into the world of the bacterial art. </p>
+
 
+
 
+
                  <p>In this activity, they created their own <b>‘living masterpice’</b>. Previously, we did detailed explanation on how to properly use the lab material during simple microbiology protocols. Thus, they learned both from the art and microbiology worlds.

<p>Then, using solid <b>agar plates</b> as a <b>canvas</b>, <b>inoculating loops</b> as <b>brushes</b> and the palette of <b>pigmented bacteria</b> we self-made in the lab as <b>tempera</b>, they blew their minds to do imaginative <b>Microbial Art</b>. As soon as they finished, petri dishes were collected and kept for a later incubation in our lab. Finally, a gallery of all their beutiful works was published in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/printeriaupv"> @printeriaupv</a> Instagram profile, so everyone could share them and create interest into the Bacterial Art. </p>  
+
<p>As a conclusion, this workshop was a total success, and both the public and ourselves were delighted to realize the beauty of the microbial world and its simple but yet appealing applications.

<h4>Yturralde: fusion between art and science</h4>
+
                 
+
                  <p> José María Yturralde is an spanish artist widely known for his relationship with science.  He collaborated with artists and scientists to redefine his understanding of shapes, and explored ways that the mainframe computer could be used as a tool for his art (2). In this context, we thought it could be a great idea to <b>introduce</b> him to the vast possibilities of the <b>BioArt</b>, and so learn about his life experiences all at once.
+
                  </p><p>As part of this outreach collaboration, we decided to recreate one of his masterpieces, from the well-known collection <b>'Impossible Figures'</b>, with our own genetic engineered bacteria.
+
                  <p>To do so, we printed a 3D mold of the figure to delimitate the barriers of the drawing, so we could inoculate each coloured bacteria in a compartiment of the solid agar medium. Finally, using bigger than usual agar dishes, we were able to recreate his artwork. After several trials with different colour tones and molds, the final result was perfect:  </p>

                  <h3>Future generations</h3>
+
             
+
                  <p>High school students are eager to know more about the world they live in. However, students rarely learn about Synthetic Biology inside classrooms. As there is a lack of hand-on STEM curricula, basic concepts such as gene, DNA and bacteria are only explained theoretically. </p>
+
 
+
<p>In order to stimulate young people to be curious about science, we decided to do our part in changing this educational approach.
+
</p>
+
                  <h4>Communicating to divulgue</h4>
+
                  <p>First, we gave some talks to high school students, in which we talked about:
+
</p><ul>
+
 
   <li>
 
   <li>
     <p><b>Bacteria: enemies or friends? </b></p> <p> We wanted to beat the stigma against bacteria, explaining their importance and benefits, not only naturally, but also in biotechnology (i.e.: bacteria as biofactories for medicine, industry, etc.) </p>
+
     <p><b>Education</b>. With a friendly-user software, Printeria is designed to be an educational tool. </p>
 
   </li>
 
   </li>
 
   <li>
 
   <li>
     <p><b>Printeria: how it really works? </b></p> <p> As SynBio is not only about biology, we thought it was highly important to demonstrate the role of engineering and electronics. Thus, we decided to explain them the basis of Printeria: how the digital microfluidic system allows us to control each biotech process with high accuracy.  
+
     <p><b>Bio Art</b>. Printeria offers a compact and friendly toolkit for the bioartist entire disposal. </p>
    <img src="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2018/a/ab/T--Valencia_UPV--PCBFINALUPV2018.jpeg" alt="">
+
  </li>
    <h6>Coloured droplets movent thanks to the Microfluidic Technology</h6>
+
</ul>
  
      <p>They were able to life in first person the <b>droplets controlled movement</b> around our PCB surface. Moreover, we showed several videos to ensure they could understand such kind of a priori complex concepts. As a result, many of them finished the activity being completely interested in <b>learning more</b> about the microfluidic technology and its future applications.  
+
<p>Thus, our main concern was how to fulfill the different<b>stakeholders demands</b>. Following our <b>interdisciplinary spirit</b>, we searched for <b>continuos input</b> from professionals with different backgrounds, so we could ensure we were designing a <b>useful</b> synbio device.  
</p></li></ul>
+
<p>As a sum-up, we decided to conduct interviews with experts from the research and bioart worlds, in order to realize which were the real <b>user necessities</b> in regard to <b>software functionalities, external design and safety measurements</b>. In the same way, our microfluidic system was thoughtfully developed with the advice of <b>electronic engineering professionals</b>. <ul style="list-style-type:square">
 +
                    <li><p>You can all read the interviews and viewpoints gathered by going to the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Integrated_Human#Expert_dialogue" target="_blank">expert dialogue section</a></p></li>
 +
                    </ul></p>
 +
  <p>We also received feedback from an open-talk with <b>high school students</b>. However, we realized such a great amount of information needed to be classificated previously to its integration into Printeria.</p>
 +
  <p>As a result, we decided to employ the <b>Kano model</b>, a theory for product development and customer satisfaction.
  
<h4>Printeria: educational approach</h4>
+
                  <ul style="list-style-type:square">
<p>Printeria aim is to be used as an educational tool. Taking into account that, generally, people doesn't even know what SynBio, we realized it was necessary to ensure students could use Printeria in a <b>friendly but at the same time technically correct</b> way. </p>
+
                    <li><p>As it is one of the <b>vertebral axis</b> for the Integrated Human approach, its implementation and the conclusions we finally obtained are thoroughly detailed in the <a href="https://2018.igem.org/Team:Valencia_UPV/Integrated_Human#Kano_model" target="_blank">Kano model section.</a></p></li>
<p>To do so, Printeria includes a <b>user-guide manual</b>, inspired in the ones that commonly come attached with ordinary printers, to explain the most basic user <b>how to proceed </b> once Printeria has arrived to his life. This manual includes biosafety measurements considerations, software interface explanations and hardware functionality. By using it, anyone could understand how to easily choose pre-designed transcriptional units or assemble his own desired TU.  You can all read the complete manual by clicking here:
+
                    </ul></p>

  <div style="

<p>However, we realized that, to reach a real educational approach, we needed to ensure not only the easy and explained use of Printeria, but also the <b>understanding of the biological processes</b> upon each step. Thus, we have developed an <b>activity booklet</b> to be used by both <b>teachers and students</b>. This didactical example activities can be read here:

Human Practices

Science and technology have always been prompted by a desire of solving social issues. Thus, science would be nothing if it doesn’t exist a relationship with people.

How your project affects the world and how the world affects it?

Feedback receiving: the key to the success

When creating a new scientific device, the existence of political, economic and social frameworks leads into the necessity of an in-depth analysis of how your creation would affect the world and how the world affects it.

As a result, our first step was to identify the real-life problems that could be solved with Printeria and so classify its application fields. To do so, we decied to employ the MIT market segmentation table, with which we analyzed Printeria potential users in accordance with our project values.

You can read the resulting market segmentation analysis and how it helped us to focus our initial approach by clicking here:

As a result, Printeria main applications fields can be summarized as:

  • Research groups. Printeria automatizes time-consuming protocols, so enhancing the intellectual task and easing experiments reproducibility.

  • Education. With a friendly-user software, Printeria is designed to be an educational tool.

  • Bio Art. Printeria offers a compact and friendly toolkit for the bioartist entire disposal.

  • Thus, our main concern was how to fulfill the differentstakeholders demands. Following our interdisciplinary spirit, we searched for continuos input from professionals with different backgrounds, so we could ensure we were designing a useful synbio device.

    As a sum-up, we decided to conduct interviews with experts from the research and bioart worlds, in order to realize which were the real user necessities in regard to software functionalities, external design and safety measurements. In the same way, our microfluidic system was thoughtfully developed with the advice of electronic engineering professionals.

    We also received feedback from an open-talk with high school students. However, we realized such a great amount of information needed to be classificated previously to its integration into Printeria.

    As a result, we decided to employ the Kano model, a theory for product development and customer satisfaction.

    • As it is one of the vertebral axis for the Integrated Human approach, its implementation and the conclusions we finally obtained are thoroughly detailed in the Kano model section.

    Thus, to know how the feedback receiving was carried out and how it was integrated to finally create Printeria as nowadays is, you can further read our Integrated_Human page.

    Is your work good enough for the world?

    Printeria: introducing SynBio to the world

    Printeria was born with the aim of knocking down the barriers that prevent people from coming into Synthetic Biology. However, these barriers are not only related with the high-cost technology, but also with the society lack of awareness.

    Thus, we decided it was completely necessary to encourage a willing atmosphere in which Printeria could be then used as an educational tool.

    But, how to do so?

    While developing our project, we had the opportunity to explore the vast applications of the BioArt. Then, we realized we had there an attractive way to introduce SynBio to the world: promoting the BioArt and so using an non-usual approach to get to the public. Moreover, we always conceibed Printeria as an educational tool for the next generations raising.

    As a result, we decided to exemplificate Printeria possible artistic applications with artist advice and high schools students participation. On the other hand, several open-talks were given to fight against common synbio misinformation.

    To know more about our Social outreach, see our Education and Public Engagement web page.

    Is your work safe enough for the world?

    Biosafety

    Safety considerations in relation to Printeria sterilization and biocontention measurements are essential if we want to introduce a bio-engineering device as Printeria is in non-scientific places.

    Thus, we realized we had to ensure Printeria biosafety. To do so, you can ead the biosafety measurements we have implemented into Printeria by going to our Safety page.

    Collaborating is sharing

    Collaborations

    Synthetic biology builds are the result of collaborations across many fields, including institutional, industrial, scientific, and technical developments (1). In the same way, sharing and collaborating are some of the core values of the iGEM community.

    We were delighted to part of this collaborative approach, so you can all read the collaborations we have made with other iGEM teams by going to our Collaborations page.
