For us, the synthetic biological mission didn't end at raising a project. We also wished to build continuity and atract in advanced young minds for the years to come. Part of this effort included looking in media tools to raise awareness about synthetic biology and iGEM. From day one we put a project subgoal of reaching over a hundred thousand readers (1% of the Hungarian population) while targeting young readers ages 15-30. In practice we exceeded nearly twice our initial quatua, thus the effort was very succsseful. Here we present the articles and media involved.
