SynBio Day

See [http://www.uni-muenchen.de/aktuelles/news/2012/aktionstag_igem.html here] the press release from the LMU.

The Synthetic Biology Day is an initiative by all German iGEM teams. It is a public event with the intention to explain and communicate the field of Synthetic Bilogy to the general public. It was held on August 25, 2012 in the following cities: Bielefeld, Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Göttingen, Marburg, München, Potsdam and Tübingen.

In collaboration with the TU Munich, we organized and participated in the SynBio Day activities for the city of Munich.

People, that were interested, could fill out a an easy quiz to check how much they know about Synthetic Biology. The quiz was a good opportunity to explain basic stuff about gentechnologie. Especially in Germany, people are very sceptic against everything that deals with GMOs. However, almost all people that took the time to listen to us what Synthetic Biologist aim to, were excited about the possibilites and didn't talk about any fears.

Children could take part in a drawing contest. Every child draws a picture about an animal with an extra ability of a different animal.

We think that was a very good way to get to talk with people that normally wouldn't get in touch with Synthetic Biology.
