Team:Groningen/Template/MODULE/outreach

The 23rd of September our team invited family and friends to come and visit our lab, and to explain them more about what we had been working on the past few months. We still had to contribute quite a lot for our trip to Boston, so a fundraiser could help us on the financial side. Everybody that was interested could come, get a drink and listen to some relaxing music from the band Frankly no Helix. We started off with a short presentation, after which people were given the opportunity to ‘take a tour’ through our lab. A great way to show them the work that we have been doing! After the lab-tours were finished (a lot of people wanted to do this!) we started an auction. The things that went up for auction (lab-slaves, arm candy, boatrides) appeared surprisingly appealing to many of the audience. At the end of the day we had collected 850 euro, but more importantly, we made our project visible to the people around us. This could be repeated the upcoming years!
