Event

townhall in background

We were present with an information stand located on the town square, Marktplatz in Tübingen. It is in the heart of the historic city and part of the large pedestrian zone and place of the beautiful townhall.

Our large pavillon was an eye-catcher. Several posters attracted the curiosity of the many people passing by.

We engaged many people in interesting conversation but people also came on their own initiative and took the possibility to ask us questions.

Additionally we designed a quiz with eight basic questions concering Synthetic Biology.
