Why Do We Come Up With This

While many other teams go to high schools to introduce synthetic biology by presentation, we choose to have some great time with kids because it brings us sense of achievement when we provide them new ideas and see their eyes full of yearning even it is comparatively challenging. It’s difficult to explain synthetic biology or iGEM to young children by telling them the concepts. But we think the exact comprehension is not important for those kids. What matter most are their curiosity to the new objects and their “unrealistic” thoughts.

How We Did This

We gathered the students who were interested to draw together during their drawing classes. They are all very excited about designing their own creatures. Some students devoted three classes to completing their work. Take home drawings are also admitted, as there is a seven-day holiday from Oct. 1st. These children got some help from their parents (writing introduction for the drawings). We also asked communities to help us contact the kids living in the neighborhood. They posted the posters and collect drawing for us.
