Our first exposure to the public was at the [http://www.salondeletudiant.ch/fr/etudiant/ 26th International Fair for books and press of Geneva], 25-29 april 2012-2013, in which there was a part dedicated to student formation. Various Swiss universities held a stand at the fair including Geneva, Fribourg, EFPL and Swiss italian Universities.

We made a Presentation of synthetic biology, iGEM and our project at the EPFL stand which was visited by students of all ages as well as curious parents. Surveys on Synthetic biology were handed out to evaluate the awareness of people.

People appreciated the concept despite not being too fond of GMOs mostly because of their ignorance on the subject and publicity. A lot of people linked synthetic biology to textiles.
