Human Practices Overview
Let us start with a great story. In late November 2011 we gave a conference about Synthetic Biology (SynBio) and iGEM in Centro de Investigación y Desarrllo de Educación Bilingüe (CIDEB) high school, which turned out fabulous. Students who attended the talk became so interested in SynBio that they wanted to participate in iGEM. Their school's principal was also enthusiastic about the idea and did not hesitate in supporting a team. So we gave them an intensive SynBio workshop and coached them all along the competition. You may have heard from that team. They came 2nd runner-up and had lots of fun.
We were excited about educating people on the SynBio. We continued the jr. high school visits and personally introduced SynBio to more than 700 students. The collaboration with team CIDEB-UANL was also very good. Together, we had a group jr. high school students participate in an enjoyable synthetic rally. We also arranged a poster exhibition, were CIDEB-UANL, iGEMUANL-2011 and other participants presented their works.
But we noticed we had to educate ourselves as well. We started a math model course for undergraduates in our school, where we and around 40 students greatly improved our mathematical skills
Finally, we decided to go massive with SynBio education. We built the SynBio Tunnel, an interactive museum-like exhibition about SynBio, and received around 2000 attendees. We were also invited to take it to a 5000 people science divulgation event. It was a once in a life-time experience.
