Fistable, as kids were arriving to our fruit DNA extraction ship, in a nutshell we explained them, what a cell, a tissue, and an organism are. How humans are different thanks for the long long long molecule inside our cells, DNA. They were told that they would know how DNA seems. <br> After this brief explanation we proceeded to obtain DNA from bananas and strawberries. Kids were really excited to meet the molecule that living organisms share. When they obtained their precipitated DNA, the were asking lots of questions, such as if they could know their own DNA.<br> We did not forgot genetic engineering and synthetic biology, as they were able to watch with their own eyes DNA from fruits, we thaught them that DNA is like a big library, that contains too many books called genes, and that cells were able to study those books by reading them, so they could do what the have learned. We tell them that nowadays humans can erase the books content and change it for another. So if we decided to change the banana's book that teach its cells to be yellow and write that it would be not only blue, but also be producing a human molecule, the cells would learn it and apply it. We tell them that this was called synthetic biology with genetic engineering. | Fistable, as kids were arriving to our fruit DNA extraction ship, in a nutshell we explained them, what a cell, a tissue, and an organism are.

The collaboration of these experts, helped participants, acquire knowledge regarding not only synthetic biology and medicine, but also, really important topics such as biosafety and bioethics, given by Master in bioethics José Antonio Alonso Pavón, because it is of critical importance that the scientists that are being prepared today have the bioethics basis in order to carry out a carrier that is based on the improvement and benefit of the human race. | The collaboration of these experts, helped participants, acquire knowledge regarding not only synthetic biology and medicine, but also, really important topics such as biosafety and bioethics, given by Master in bioethics José Antonio Alonso Pavón, because it is of critical importance that the scientists that are being prepared today have the bioethics basis in order to carry out a carrier that is based on the improvement and benefit of the human race. | ||

Team members Carlos Meza and Eddie Cano prepared a short talk explaining both the scope of ITESM CEM’s project, and the structure and importance of iGEM as a competition. At noon, it was all prepared, the seats were all taken, and ITESM CEM’s team was standing at the oval auditorium, at IPN’s Polytechinc Unit for Enterprises Development (UPCDE). The talk went on for an hour, and questions were also addressed to the audience, so that students and young scientists could share ideas on synthetic biology topics.<br> | Team members Carlos Meza and Eddie Cano prepared a short talk explaining both the scope of ITESM CEM’s project, and the structure and importance of iGEM as a competition.

The talk was also an opportunity for the National Synthetic Biology Web to share their objectives and expand their project. A lot of interest was generated in the audience, which was probably formed by many future iGEMers, and researchers.</p><br> | The talk was also an opportunity for the National Synthetic Biology Web to share their objectives and expand their project.

The handbook named "Guideline Into iGEM’s Standardized Parts" would be able to help this people to use the Registry Web page as easy as possible.</p> | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> In the other hand, as it was mentioned previously, we have detected that Parts Registry web page could be a little bit hard to use for every new iGEMer or person in the whole world.
