Outreach
LAB ESCAPE Videogame
We ventured into new territory this year by developing a video game centered on synthetic biology called LAB ESCAPE. As scientists, we are often asked, “What exactly do you do all day?” Our video game provides an opportunity to educate and entertain the player by guiding them through a routine experiment used by the iGEM 2012 Calgary team.
Telus Spark Science
Calgary's local science center, Telus Spark, let us share with their visitors hands on activities with synthetic biology during their monthly Adults Only Night. We had two showcases over the summer. The first, showed off the ability of bacteria to be engineered with genes for fluorescent proteins by getting people to draw art on agar plates. The second, was an public beta test of our synthetic biology video game.
Minds In Motion
We partnered with Minds in Motion, a science and engineering camp for elementary aged students run through the University of Calgary. We hosted 'synthetic biology' afternoons throughout the summer where we kids got to do crafts and run 'experiments' pertaining to synthetic biology.
Genome Alberta Blog Posts
One of our generous sponsors, Genome Alberta, invited us to post blog entries on their webpage about the life of an iGEM student. Here we conveyed the humerous and sometimes stressful life of a student on an iGEM team. This was a great way to interface with industry and convey a more humanistic view of synthetic biology.
