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 and were enrolled in the various biological sciences and engineering classes offered.
Poster session
We presented 2 posters to the Providence and Brown community: one on the iGEM competition and the field of Synthetic Biology, and one on our iGEM projects this year.File:UTRA symposium What is Brown iGEM poster (2).pdf
The posters will also be on the online Virtual Symposium hosted on Brown's website. (LINK LINK LINK)
Activities Fair
Each fall, Brown holds an activities fair featuring student organizations on campus. Nearly the entire ~1500 person freshman class attends this fair, along with significant portions of the rest of the student body. We presented a poster on our project(s) and a poster on the entire iGEM program at this fair, talking to innumerable interested students about our research and the structure of iGEM. We have built an email list of over 70 interested students, who 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 students aware of and interested in the iGEM competition, we can keep Brown iGEM strong in the years to come!
