Educational VideosWe're making educational videos on Synthetic Biology, aimed at high-school students, as well as undergraduates looking to get involved with iGEM!The first one of these is now on youtube! It talks about synthetic biology as a general overview Khan Academy and YouTubeED One of the main sets of videos we wish to create will look to educate sixth-form students and undergraduates on the various techniques used within iGEM and Synthetic Biology. Ethical OutreachAdditionally, we wish to make easy to understand videos explaining exactly what we're doing, and the biological, ethical and safety issues associated with our work, in a form that is both engaging and entertaining for the public. We sent out a survey on what people feel are the ethical issues surrounding our project. The main ethical issues people noticed were bioterrorism, accidental release and playing god. we will adress these issues in the safety and ethics section.
Other Outreach HereThe Leeds iGEM team have been lucky to have the opportunity to talk to sixth formers who have come to the university. We are also going to go into local school and spread the word about synthetic biology to students and get them involved | ||||||
