Project Summary Video
SynBio Blocks Game
Tile by tile, atom by atom, you can use the power of synthetic biology to create a genetically-engineered microalgae capable of producing valuable products such as biofuels! This game, based on the open-source 2048 game, is making our project and the concept of synthetic biology accessible to the general population in a fun and recognizable way. Play the game for free here.
Article by The Concordian
One of Concordia's newspapers, The Concordian, interviewed the iGEM Concordia 2014 team and wrote a piece entitled "Playing with the Legos of Life". This publicity makes our project more easily understandable by the layman and beautifully showcases its societal importance.
