Outreach Introduction
We embarked on a massive outreach campaign to encourage discourse with the public about synthetic biology, in order to dispel misconceptions and foster debate. Our outreach campaign was aimed at reaching as many people from different communities and age groups as possible. We wanted to burst out of the invisible walls separating the academy from the general public and trigger discussions in a variety of platforms, making the subject accessible to all.
SynBio for Kids
It’s a cliché, but children really are the future (and so is synthetic biology!). We ran fun synbio activities at Science Night, a children’s science festival, and created an activity kit that others can use to help kids learn about synthetic biology.
Media
How can people form an educated opinion about synthetic biology if they’ve never even heard of it?We used old and new media to let as many people as possible know about iGEM and our team.

Special Events
Ever go to a wine-tasting and get a taste of synthetic biology? Or read a great science fiction novel and discover that actually, it’s close to becoming reality? Or attended a day of lectures for the general public inspired by synthetic biology?

Art
To spice up our outreach efforts, we looked for humorous, creative and fun ways to promote synthetic biology. One of our initiatives was connecting synthetic biology to art!
Bio Ethics
We wanted to engage the community in a discussion of the ethical questions involved in synthetic biology, and so we crowdsourced for questions for an ethics FAQ.
