Human Practice
We educated secondary school kids about synthetic biology and the safety issues. We also conducted a survey on public understanding on synthetic biology.
Introduction
Synthetic Biology is certainly an arising topic in the field of Biotechnology. When every Synthetic Biologist or iGEMer is working hard for their masterpieces, at the same time, we should promote Synthetic Biology to public. Society is always the key factor for the development of new Science discipline or subject like Synthetic Biology. This is because what we are doing will bring direct effects to the public and that is what people are always concerning.
Therefore, in order to gain support and belief from public and thus encourage the development of Synthetic Biology, we have the responsibility to objectively tell the society what is going on with Synthetic Biology and iGEM competition. We believe that educating the students is the most powerful tool to build up a positive image of Synthetic Biology, especially when they are young. So we targeted high school students with Science background for our human practice outreach.
What we have done
We delivered a presentation on Synthetic Biology and iGEM competition to our local high school students. We aimed
1. To teach students more about Genetics.
2. To give a clearer picture of Synthetic Biology to Secondary School students.
3. To raise the interest of students in field of Biotechnology.
4. More importantly, to build up a bridge between Secondary students and modern Biology.
Basically, in our sharing, we told them what is iGEM competition, what do the iGEMers ‘invent’, how is CityU_HK’s project, what is the essence of Synthetic Biology and also introduce some safety concerns on this subject. Please find our presentation materials on this link. Surely you will have fun of it!
