On July 27, 28, and 30, we held a '''3-day practical course for 20 students''' from a local high school. The students were 16-18 years old, and had prior knowledge of microbiological principles. For many (or all) students though, the practical course was their first time employing many new techniques.

The chance to solidify our own knowledge of cloning and synthetic biology in general by teaching it to others was fantastic! We also appreciated the enthusiasm of the students, as they volunteered to participate, and did so on their summer vacation. They had creative and innovative ideas of proteins to fuse to our '''Sporo'''beads. When they left on Monday, the students had learned many new lab techniques, and about the new opportunities that synthetic biology can open up. As a kind gesture of thanks for the practical, the students and their teacher gave us a thank-you card, bottle of champagne, and bag of chocolate bars. Organizing and leading the practical was a great experience.

The LMU-Munich team is exuberantly happy about the great success at the World Championship Jamboree in Boston. Our project Beadzillus finished 4th and won the prize for the "Best Wiki" (with Slovenia) and "Best New Application Project".
