Public Engagement
Public engagement is an important part of our project. We wanted to tell people about what we have achieved and what our research is about.
School Visit
We visited Clevedon Community School to present our research to two Sixth-Form Biology classes. We were well received - explaing what iGEM is all about and the things we'd achieved in a summer.
We gave a presentation to each of the classes about iGEM, us and our project, and then did a practical demonstration where the students made their own beads (...without the E. coli).
These are our slides for the presentation:
