Outreach
Summer Workshops
During Summer 2010, we gave talks about Synthetic Biology and iGEM to high school students that participated in the Summer@Brown program.
Poster session
We presented 2 posters to the Providence and Brown community: one on the iGEM competition/Synthetic Biology and one on our iGEM project this year.
The posters will also be on the online Virtual Symposium hosted on Brown's website.
Activities Fair
Every year, Brown holds an activities fair for incoming first-year students. The majority of the ~1500 person freshman class attends this fair. We presented a poster on our project(s) and a poster on the entire iGEM program. After talking to innumerable interested first-years, we built an email list of ~70 interested students. These students are being kept up to date with our progress and will be encouraged to apply for our iGEM team next year. By creating a community of younger students, we can keep Brown iGEM strong in the years to come.
