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 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.
