Education
School visits
We visited the "De Klare Bron", "Don Bosco" schools in Heverlee and the "de Grasmus" school in Leuven where we introduced children in primary school (10 to 11 years old) to synthetic biology. During the lessons we started by giving a brief introduction into synthetic biology. We continued with asking the children to play a game built around the DNA codon table. The goal was to introduce the children to DNA translation in a playful manner.

The game consists of two parts.
During the first part, the children are given the so called "Prof Robben" sequence.
Using the DNA codon table shown in figure 1, the children translated the DNA.
Colored wooden blocks symbolizing the amino acids had to be arranged into the correct
protein sequence. The blocks where made in the KU Leuven's fab-lab
and painted by hand ourselves.
During the second stage of the game, the children continued by mutating the sequence. The
players could obtain a new sticker if the mutation matched a sequence on the sticker
table shown in figure 2.
Card game
We devised an educational card game, which is fun to play for young and old.
