<p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> This was our first activity as new iGEMers, our university decided to organize a multidisciplinary event for children between 4 and 12 years old. This event had many activities, such as painting, cooking workshops, germination, science, etc. We were very glad by having the science activity, of course we asked for having it. We were dressed as pirates in order to make funnier our scientific experiment.<br> | <p style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-word;"> This was our first activity as new iGEMers, our university decided to organize a multidisciplinary event for children between 4 and 12 years old.

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 blue, 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.
