Our main human practices project is to participate in Researcher's Night, which is an evenet for high school students. The goal of Researcher's Night is to show the students that reserach is fun, to inspire them and motivate them to take higher education in science.
The NTNU iGEM team is participating in Researcher's Night, which is an event for high school students. This is the 9th year Researcher's Night is being hosted, and it has traditionally been very popular at NTNU. Last year, over 1200 students visited the arrangement. This year, Researchers' night was on the 27th of september, and we were invited to participate. We are really looking forward to it, since this is a unique opportunity to tell students about the possibilities of synthetic biology, and motivate them for a career in biotechnology. It seems that the students are looking forward to it as well, since this year's arrangement was fully booked in 10 minutes!
