Who says 'Game' and 'Science' cannot be combined?
With a view to educating people about the controversial issues surrounding synthetic biology, and allaying the fears this new field has aroused, and to break the myth that science is not fun, the CityU iGEM team specially designed 2 interesting and interactive games to engage members of the general public in the fun of Science. It is hoped that active participation by the public in learning through games about synthetic biology and the CityU iGEM project would be an effective means to promote synthetic biology to the general public at large. One of the games the CityU iGEM team designed is described below.

BYO Bio-brick

We designed an interactive game to engage the community in the world of synthetic biology. In this game, situations close to our daily life were used as reference and based on the specific situation assigned, participants were required to carefully choose the relevant 'Bio-bricks' to construct atarget gene cassette to achieve a specific biological aim. The goal of the game is to allow the general public a taste of constructing custom-designed bacteria (biological machine) that is equipped with the desired functions. Guidance were provided during the course of the game to help the participants experience the fun of doing synthetic biology

Aims:

Allow the general public to learn and understand synthetic biology through game-playing

Make synthetic biology interactive and fun

How to play?

1) Participants were given a pile of Bio-brick cards, each labeled
with a specific function

2) Situations close to our daily life in the form of a short story were
provided as guidance for participants to construct the desired
gene cassette of interest

3) Participants were asked to assemble the different Bio-bricks
in a specific sequence in order to get the gene 'expressed'

4) Start playing and have fun

Think it is too easy to play?

Take up our challenge and solve the puzzle of synthetic biology

Lyse or 'Dia'

To most people, dairy product has become an essential part of their daily diet. In this game, the main character is unaware of the fact that he is suffering from lactose intolerance. He has the habit of drinking a glass of milk daily.
As a special cell with limited ability to digest lactose, you will bear the responsibility to help him break down the lactose he introduces into the intestine before he experience diarrhea. CityU's iGEM project has been included as an element in the game so that people can know more about it through gaming

Aims:

Allow the general public to learn and understand synthetic biology through game-playing

Make synthetic biology interactive and fun

Bridge the distance between synthetic biology and the community

This game will definitely drives you crazy

So addicted that there is no way to stop
