School visits
The lessons are prepared in agreement with the teachers to meet the level of knowledge already present. We impart the principles of synthetic biology and encourage the students to participate in solving an exercise problem using their acquired knowledge. Thus, we increase the level of awareness of synthetic biology and show how complex problems can be approached at the same time. The slides our team uses will be available for downloading on this page soon.
Open house day at the department
On the open house day of D-BSSE of ETH (Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering) and the Biozentrum of the University of Basel the public could get an impression of the scientific laboratories and the work done there. The many different labs opened their doors to the public and scientists gave interested people an insight in their daily work. So did the ETH iGEM team 2014. The team was present with a poster showing the history of iGEM, explaining the projects of previous ETH iGEM teams and giving general information about synthetic biology. Additionally, a slideshow presented a best-of photo collection of last years jamboree. The goal of this day was to inform the public about synthetic biology in general and specifically about the spirit and the projects of iGEM. Many people showed strong interest and eagerly anticipated to follow our project’s development during the next months on our wiki.
Science Slam Basel
A science slam is all about presenting scientific work to a broad public in a short time and in understandable, entertaining terms. This is what Elise of our team is doing in Basel on Oct 10th. Then the Science Slam Basel takes place and Elise will give her best to spread the word about iGEM and our project. We are curious to see how she simplifies our complex project to make it comprehensible and catchy.
