Team:Aix-Marseille/Public Engagement
Bed bug infestations are increasing every year both in Marseille and all over the world. The origin of our breaking bugs project was this increase in infections and awareness. We wanted to help our local community as well as the whole world. We engaged in a dialog with the local community by going to as many fairs and gatherings as possible, with three main messages to deliver:
What is iGEM?
What are bed bugs and how to prevent infestations?
Engaging the public in the breaking bugs project.
