Human Practices
There are much more to a good iGEM project than the work in the lab, here among raising the public's awareness of our project and synthetic biology. In aim to do so we held a lecture at the Danish Youth Association of Science (UNF) annually biotech summer camp, regarding the field of synthetic biology, iGEM and some ethical concerns. We involve the students doing the lecture, to hear their opinion on the discussed topics. You can read more about our visit at the UNF ‘s summer camp under Education.
The youth are our outreach target. We hope that the young generation can provide the public with some new aspect on the use of synthetic biology.
To reach out to the children, we have created a children book. This book provides teachers and parents a good basic tool, for educating children in Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). To read more about the creation of the book and to download the story, please go to The different between right and wrong is important to keep in mind when working with living organism’s DNA. A big part of our project have been to cover ethical aspect regarding our project and indeed the generally use of synthetic biology. If you are more interest in our ethical work, please go to
