They also have the opportunity of developing and presenting a proposal of an empiric project that they have to idealize and execute. |
According to our planning, a short presentation tought to students about the concept of synthetic biology, the biological structures, and the iGEM competition. Once students had this basic information, they were oriented to separate themselves into seven groups, dispersed along the room where there were monitors from Brazil_UFMG team. Each group received a card deck and chose an initially secret mission to explore by engineering a genetically modified organism (GMO). | According to our planning, a short presentation tought to students about the concept of synthetic biology, the biological structures, and the iGEM competition.
