Team:Paris Bettencourt/Human Practice

Sharing is caring! We made a series of educational MOOCs aimed at high school students to help inspire them to come up with their own projects and start their own iGEM team.

We collaborated with more than 600 citizens on our project. They had an opportunity to sample and analyze the data from their own body and learn about synthetic biology.

We created Minder, a location based mobile app to help people get in contact to share ideas and create projects.
