It was important for us to include in our project topics such as ethics, culture, society, and accessibility of information to the general public in an unusual way. The purpose of the PP activities was to answer questions on various subjects that will integrate with the laboratory work. We did our best to invest our time and energy in a real long-lasting contribution.</p><br /> |

They taught 5&6 grade class and were amazed from the level of questions and knowledge they demonstrated! They introduced the basic knowledge of Synthetic Biology to the students. Afterwards, they divided the class to 2 groups and played a quiz game (the winning group received a prize). |

To achieve this; we utilized Facebook and Twitter to reach fellow iGEM teams, friends, family and indeed anybody who is interested in what we had to say!

For many people, synthetic biology might be scary, difficult, and complicated. Through a video, we might be able to show these people a new point of view of synthetic biology, and allow them to visualize our idea and create an exciting adventure in their mind. In the video we also explained about the iGEM competition and our project. |

Practices & Policies
"Human Practices is the study of how your work affects the world, and how the world affects your work." — Peter Carr, Director of Judging
The PP group worked and cooperated with the research team in order to develop, communicate, and create a diverse and creative project. It was important for us to include in our project topics such as ethics, culture, society, and accessibility of information to the general public in an unusual way. The purpose of the PP activities was to answer questions on various subjects that will integrate with the laboratory work. We did our best to invest our time and energy in a real long-lasting contribution.
