Introduction (Why are we doing this?)
Who says ‘Fun’ and 'Science' cannot be combined? With a view to educating people about the controversial issues surrounding synthetic biology, allaying the fears this new field has generated, and to break the myth that science is not fun, the CityU iGEM team specially designed 2 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 our iGEM project would be an effective means to promote synthetic biology to the public. The two games we designed are described below.

The two games we designed are described below.
BYO Bio-brick
|
This game was designed to engage the community in the world of synthetic biology. Participants were provided with daily life situations. . Based on the situation assigned, participants were required to carefully choose the relevant 'Bio-bricks' to construct a target gene cassette to achieve a specific biological aim. The game allows the general public to construct their own custom-designed bacteria (biological machine) equipped with the desired functions. Guidance was provided during the course of the game to help the participants understand the concept of a biobrick while having fun.

Aims:
|
How to play?1) Participants were given a stack of cards.Each card was labeled with different component of a biobrick.
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:
|
This game will definitely drives you crazy So addicted that there is no way to stop |
