Workshop on Synthic Biology

To give the general public the a glimmer of our iGEM experience and we developed a workshop where they can feel like a real scientist and go into battle with oil pollution at sea by making their own BioBrick. To give our self developed workshop we visited the [http://www.wtacademie.nl/ Science Day for Teachers] and at the [http://www.delft.nl/content.jsp?objectid=51425 Science Day for Kids].

What do we do at the workshop?

Every participant will feel like a scientist. But before we let them tinker with DNA pars, we give a short introduction into the building blocks of life. Then you have to roll up your sleeves! Make the right bricks for your bug by using the right parts from the registry.

But how promising is Synthetic Biology?

The second part of the workshop is all about the opinion of the participant. Some propositions are put forward. Synthetic biology is too good to ignore, or its just a hype? with propositions do you agree with. Different opion will lead to interesting discussions.
