Collaborations and Public Engagement

Science Museum Lates

After managing to get a spot on the renowned Science Museum Lates, we spent an evening sharing our passion for synthetic biology with the curious onlookers that learnt all about iGEM, and the coding of information in the form of DNA. They even went home with their DNAmes inscribed in bracelets!

UCL iGEM Bootcamp Mini Jamboree

In collaboration with the London Biohackspace and Birkbeck College, we hosted an intensive, gruelling bootcamp that enlightened the attendees about various biobrick assembly protocols, biohacking, automation, and softwares associated with synthetic biology. The bootcamp culminated in a fascinating mini Jamboree, which featured all our iGEM projects, wiki and modeling tutorials, and even a DIY Spectrophotometer made in 1 week!

UCL Academy

With hopes of engaging the high school students of UCL Academy in the pursuit of advancing synthetic biology, we´ll be teaching them all about our iGEM project, and iGEM protocols, as well as working with them on their very first synthetic biology project, throughout summer.

Headstart Summer School

We shared the joy of synthetic biology, and iGEM with the A Level students from all over UK attending the UCL Headstart Biochemical Engineering Summer School at a reception and formal dinner.
