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 about the structure of DNA. Not only are we teaching students, but we got a lot of helpful feedback from some of the teachers at these schools. They also had many great questions, and those questions helped shape the way we think about our project.
