Of course we already invested some time and effort in creating some posters to present them at several occasions.

Introducing our project to the students of Bielefeld University

Mo presenting our poster to interested students.

Successful attraction of students with waffles and information.

This is the poster and the tasty waffles.

Our first attempt to bring our project approach to the public should of course take place at our university. To reach as much students as possible in one day, we created a poster informing about our project, iGEM and synthetic biology. By baking delicious waffles that were scenting all through the university we were able to attract the hungry and even the not hungry students. The team was divided in different responsibilities such as waffle baking, presenting the poster, selling and answering questions. By rotating the shifts we made sure that everyone got in front of the poster at some point. Between 9 am and 6 pm we were talking, selling and baking.


Conclusion: Since it was our first presentation in public it took some time to present confidently but in the end everyone was self-reliant and enjoyed talking. We noticed that even people which are not into the topic of synthetic biology were very interested in hearing more about our project and thought that the purification of waste water is a topic of high relevance for them. All in all we are glad that we were able to carry out our first presentation in a known environment and under cozy conditions with some waffles. Now we are ready to reach out even further.
