Policy & Practices
Social Media
In order to bring the progress of our project to the public, we created a Twitter account for KIT-Kyoto team. This allows us to connect with other iGEM teams around the world. The knowledge about other teams' projects, their progress and their passion is the greatest motivator for us. It also helps us improve the quality of our projects. This gives opportunities to those who didn't know about iGEM or who is not biology major to be interested in iGEM and in synthetic biology in general.

KTV, a major TV station in Japan, visited BioArt Club at KIT to cover the club's activities. BioArt Club is an alumni group of KIT-Kyoto iGEM team. The current KIT-Kyoto iGEM team members also assisted the shooting. The report covered two of the artworks. One was drawings with GFP expressing E. coli.

At KIT, iGEM doesn't end at Giant Jamboree. It evolves into long running activities and keep disseminating the message about synthetic biology to the broader public.
