The content of the lessons are decided after consulting teachers to ensure that we match the existing level of knowledge of the students. Through these lectures, we attempt to impart the basic principles of synthetic biology and encourage the students to participate in solving an exercise problem using these concepts. Thus, we increase the level of awareness of synthetic biology and simultaneously teach them how to approach complex problems.

Mid-October Stefanie and Nadine had the chance to teach students at the age of 16-17 at a high school in Bern. Through these lectures, we attempted to impart the basic principles of synthetic biology and encouraged the students to participate in a discussion of the concepts presented. In these discussions we tried to focus on risks to humans, health, the environment and the public. Furthermore former iGEM projects were quickly outlined and their possibilities and potential discussed.
