Education
The iGEM competition is not a known competition at Chalmers University of Technology. Since the history of iGEM team at Chalmers is quite brief and we are the first team to participate at the European Jamboree and believe that students shall be taught about iGEM. One way to achieve this was during different presentations. Since the Chalmers iGEM team’s project was an integrated part of a Bachelor’s thesis project, several presentation where held, talking about synthetic biology and iGEM.
Seminar during a summer science school
But not only students from Chalmers were taught about iGEM and synthetic biology. It is also important to make even younger people interested in synthetic biology and its possibilities. In august we held a presentation for young students talking about synthetic biology in an inspiring and funny way. The students were participating in a science school during the summer and we held two presentations, talking about the applications of synthetic biology and what we are doing and things that can be done using genetic engineering.
