<p>To promote synthetic biology to the general public, we approached the people behind the science festival <a href="http://thinkfest.helsinki.fi/english" target="_blank">Thinkfest</a>, organized by the University of Helsinki in early September. Thankfully, we were given a major role in organizing a Science picnic, an event oriented mainly towards families. We brought with us microscopes to check out gram-stained bacteria with, amazing glow-in-the-dark bacteria and even a gene gun! Children could also colour their own superhero bacterium and tell us its special ability, or play <a href="http://igem-qsf.github.io/Flappy-coli/" target="_blank">Flappy Coli</a> previously developed by Aalto-Helsinki. We also had the chance to give a talk on synthetic biology, its possibilities, and our project for an audience of general public in the center of Helsinki during the event.</p> | <p>To promote synthetic biology to the general public, we approached the people behind the science festival <a href="http://thinkfest.helsinki.fi/english" target="_blank">Thinkfest</a>, organized by the University of Helsinki in early September.
