Practices
Throughout our project, it was very important to us to keep constant contact with the community in order to educate about synthetic biology, as well as receive feedback about our product. Our practice and policy placed an emphasis on making sure that our product could be manufactured to be fit for the public, both from a safety standpoint and a marketing standpoint. Having a constant conversation with the community, both local and worldwide, enabled us to get the word out about our project and receive valuable feedback that helped point out where we had room for improvement. By implementing the feedback we received, we believe we were able to develop a better product and project.
Education
We participated in a science conference for high school students from Kiryat Shmona, a city in Northern Israel. As part of the conference, we gave a lecture about synthetic biology.
It was very important to us to bring synthetic biology into the forefront of the public's awareness. Even though bacteria is found and used all around us, such as in food, cosmetics, and industry, the public does not tend to look to bacteria as a toolbox for solutions to everyday problems.
In today's day and age, there is almost no better way to reach the public than through media platforms. Therefore, we focused on educating about our project and synthetic biology in general through such platforms.
We made a couple movies which we published on our Facebook page:
We were interviewed on the “Northern Radio” by Prof. Ofer Etzion, where we spoke about our project as well as synthetic biology.
