The 'So You Think You Can Synthesize' project has been the flagship of the Macquarie University iGEM efforts, and intends to to bring synthetic biology to the general public. It provides a forum by which any person with a computer and a question can bring them before a scientist and receive an answer. By sparking conversations on terms with the public, Team Macquarie has reached out in simple language to explain scientific concepts, explain the future of synthetic biology and talk about ethical issues. This pilot project has been highly successful; exploding across the internet, reaching across the world to talk to people across a range of ages and demographics, igniting conversations about synthetic biology and its role in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. | The 'So You Think You Can Synthesize' project has been the flagship of the Macquarie University iGEM efforts, and intends to to bring synthetic biology to the general public.
