<p>On this page, your team should document your Education and Public Engagement work and activities. Describe your team’s efforts to include more people in shaping synthetic biology (such as creating or building upon innovative educational tools and/or public engagement activities to establish two-way dialogue with new communities, and/or engaging new groups in discussions about synthetic biology and public values). Describe your approach, why you chose it, and what was learned by everyone involved (including yourselves!).</p>

Over the summer, members of the lab volunteered at a science fair hosted by Tarbiryah Academy to teach the next generation of young scientists. We had a pipetting and micropipetting lab to teach young kids basic lab techniques. We then had an agar plate demonstration (which was fun to play with!) to teach them what bacteria are and how we can transform bacteria, introducing the current and future potential of engineering bacteria as biological machines to tackle real world problems.
