Kano Model

What is Kano Model

Kano model is used to understand the importance of functions or features to a customer [1]. It is made up of three stages:

• First stage

  Here you present your project to an audience and then you ask for criticisms or improvements.

• Second stage

  With those critics that we call necessities you have to make a cuestionaire (REFENCIAR EL NUESTRO) doing a paired cuestions which are ¿How do you feel if (a necessity existed in your device)? and ¿How do you feel if (that necessity did no existed in your device)?.

• Third stage

  Once you have all the asnwers you have to complete a series of tables to conclude if that necessity is really important or not. If it is you should include it in your design because that will increase the satisfaction of the user.

Study case

Taking advantage of the fact that we went to MAG (Mustang Art Gallery) in Elche, Alicante to present our project in front of students and teachers, we decided to aplly this model demanding at the end of the presentation some improvements or critics that people considered improtant. The most important ones were included in the cuestionaire and then we send it to them to fill it. Here you cand download the survey with the results:

Once we had the answers, we filled the different table kano is composed to arrive a conclusion:

• Table 1: Method's evaluation

  This is the table that will show the final results

• Table 2: Tabulate the survey

  This is the table that will show the final results

Future generations

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. In order to stimulate young people to be curious about science and to promote the critical thinking on scientific foundations, we believe this educational approach needs to be changed.

Activity

To do so, we gave some talks to several high school classes, in which we talked about:

• iGEM and SynBio as a multidisciplinary research field

  We talked about the iGEM competition and the future of SynBio as a research field that can help to solve nowadays issues.

• Bacteria: enemies or friends?

  We wanted to beat the stigma against bacteria, explaining their importance and benefits, not only naturally (i.e.: they form our microbiote and they are the base of the trophic chains), but also in biotechnology (i.e.: bacteria as biofactories for medicine, industry, etc.)

• Printeria: how it really works?

  As SynBio is not only about biology, we thought it was also highly important to demonstrate the role of engineering and electronics. Thus, we decided to explain them, from an educational approch, the basis of Printeria: our software and how the digital microfluidic system allows us to control each biotech process with high accuracy. During the talk, we showed them several videos and photos to ease each explanation and to ensure studens could understand such kind of a priori complex concepts.
