+ | Early on in our iGEM journey, we were approached by the Associate Chair of the Biological Sciences | ||
+ | |||
+ | Technology program, Shannon Herbert, about assisting and teaching a Biology 30 class that would be | ||
+ | |||
+ | visiting NAIT in a weeks’ time. The purpose of the class was to not only inform the students about | ||
+ | |||
+ | opportunities at NAIT but to more importantly introduce them to Molecular Biology. Naturally we | ||
+ | |||
+ | immediately said yes! <br><br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | We then set to work in assisting Shannon with the preparations for the visit; lab rooms were cleaned, | ||
+ | |||
+ | reagents were prepared and many plates were poured. We also added a fun activity for the students: | ||
+ | |||
+ | we gave them the opportunity to express their creativity through bacterial art work! | ||
+ | |||
+ | By introducing this fun activity, we hoped to encourage the young minds of tomorrow to see science as | ||
+ | |||
+ | a discipline where you can not only learn but express yourself creatively.</h3> | ||
