Human Practices

Acording to the concept of Human Practices in iGEM comptetion, we were looking for new ways to help human civilization consider, guide, and address the impacts of ongoing advances in biotechnology. With this aim, we carried out multiple activities with different kind of people, each one with a specific metodology and with a specific goal.

Under these criteria our activities are divided in three main axes (or sets): Corporative, Eductive and Social.

At the end of this text, you can find links that contain the explanation of each of these axes and what did we do, with multimedia material and with our results about how did the people respond. We invite you to explore the three axes of our Human Practices!

• Corporative
• Educative
• Social

Educative axis

In this part of our Human Practices we performed activities focused to promote knowledge about Synthetic Biology and in impact in the society.

We were looking for non-scientific people, like common people in public places and highschool students, with whom we talked about Synthetic Biology, iGEM competition and our projects. We answered their doubts and we listened thir opinions.

The activities that we developed in the educative axis of our Human Practices include informative conferences in schools, visits to parks and malls to survey and give information to people among others.
