Extending Beyond Our Own

SJAM

Waterloo iGEM team went over to a local high school, Sir John A. MacDonald SS, to talk to their Science Club. We introduced them to the world of synthetic biology and the iGEM competition. We also talked about the more recent addition of the high school level iGEM competition and what kind of projects have come out of it, in hopes of inspiring them to pursue this vastly expanding field of science. We ended our visit with a fun activity where we had the students create bacterial art!

Shad Valley

Shad Valley is an initiative focused on enriching the education of exceptional high school students in Canada. This year, Waterloo iGEM hosted 8 remarkable students to participate in a wet lab targeting bacterial isolation.

YouTube

Waterloo’s iGEM team has come out with a video series on lab techniques to compliment students' practical education in science. It is our hope that this becomes a tool which will give its audience the confidence and knowledge to perform their experiments with better safety and fewer errors
