Consideration

HumanPractice

This year, we implemented two plans on "human practice". One of the projects is that we create iphone application to let many japanese know the synthetic biology. this is because the number of Japanese who know gene recombination is still low. Another project is to introduce the synthetic biology to the high school student,this is because we would like to let many high school students participate in IGEM. This summer, we took place the lecture about the gene recombination and biochemistry in seiryo festival at the hibiya high school.

Due to the curriculum in our country, it is rather difficult for high school students to take part in iGEM undergraduate category, so we decided to tell them about the HS division and support students who are interested in it. There will probably be many teams from Japan in the next iGEM HS division.

EDUCATION
We went to hibiya high school and gave a short introduction on synthetic biology and iGEM, including the attractive points of synthetic biology, the ways of changing living things by reconstructing their genes and activities of other undergraduate iGEM teams. In addition, we met some eager junior high school students, so we added a brief explanation about biochemistry, especially genes, nucleotide, codon and the basic system of gene expression

APPLICATION
This year, we create an iphone application named "iColi" that is aimed to let many japanese know the synthetic biology by presentation of an example of gene recombination. In addition, this application contains the list of gene and an award the teams got.
