Welcome! | ||||||||
The Tech Museum of Innovation is a science and technology center in San Jose, California. Our overarching mission is to inspire the innovator in everyone. This year, we are trying to do just that within synthetic biology space through our participation in iGEM! This is the first time a museum has entered the iGEM competition We are excited to prototype new ways in which, we as an institution, can offer novel activities to excite and educate our community. Therefore, the goal of our project is to create an exhibit that engages the public in a hands-on synthetic biology experience. We want to allow people of all ages and with no biology background to become part of our iGEM team. Museum visitors contribute to our project at two stages. They transform bacteria with a plasmid pool designed to randomly generate a wide range of colors in the resulting colonies. And, they participate in data collection and analysis of the rainbow colored bacteria to help us discover the diversity of hues that are actually generated. We hope to use our project as a vehicle for getting people interested in and excited about the power of synthetic biology. Colored bacteria are just plain cool! |
