Waterloo iGEM team visited a local high school, Sir John A. MacDonald Secondary High School, to talk to their Science Club. We introduced them to the world of synthetic biology and the iGEM competition. We also talked about the more recent addition of the high school level iGEM competition and what kind of projects have come out of it, in hopes of inspiring them to pursue this vastly expanding field of science. We ended our visit with a fun activity where we showed students how to transform Eschericia coli and an RFP gene. They then got a chance to create bacterial art using the original and transformed bacteria to see the difference in the gene's expression!
