Education
Outside of our school, some of our team attended local middle schools to teach the younger generation about the application of our project, synthetic biology, and iGEM in general. We also did hands-on activities with the kids to teach them about the structure of DNA. Not only did we teach the students, we also got a lot of helpful feedback from some of the teachers at these schools. Both the teachers and students also had many great questions, and those questions helped shape the way we think about our project.
