Presentations to High School students and Undergraduates
Friday, June 28th
A presentation about iGEM, Synthetic Biology, and Antibiotic Resistance was given at the University of Pittsburgh to 30 students in several summer programs: Systems Medicine REU (SysMed) program in the Chemical Engineering Department; Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio) program for undergraduate students in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology; Drug Discovery, Systems and Computational Biology (DiSCoBio) program for high school students in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology, and part of the UPCI Summer Academy Program.
Friday, July 19th
High school students participating in the CMU Summer Academy for Mathematics + Science (SAMS) summer programs came to visit the lab to hear about the iGEM project as part of a lab “scavenger hunt”. The team gave short 5 minute presentations to 8 small groups of about two students each, explaining the biological advantages that bacteriophage and our system in particular have over antibiotics.
Friday, September 20th
The team talked informally with a prospective Carnegie Mellon undergraduate and his parents interested in iGEM.
Monday, September 23rd
A presentation about iGEM and Antibiotic was presented to juniors and seniors at Pittsburgh SciTech in the Life Sciences and Environmental Sciences concentrations. This Pittsburgh Public School teaches a science and technology magnet program and they have funding to support an iGEM High School team in 2014.
Tuesday, September 24th
The iGEM and Antibiotic talk was presented to a class of Research Science seniors at Pittsburgh Allderdice High School. Allderdice is a traditional high school and offers every AP Science course offered by College Board.
Other Outreach Activities
July 9-10th
The team participated in the development of new BioBrick part pages. The goal is to make part pages more uniform and parts better characterized. We videoconferenced with Purdue and several other teams to give feedback on the drafted data sheets and discuss other suggestions pertaining to the part pages and required data collection.
Friday, August 9th
The team was interviewed for inclusion in a DIYsect, the DIY Biology and the Biology-Art intersection documentary. The students were commenting on how iGEM was different from other research experiences and what motivated them to join the team.
October
With the completion of the phage games we have interest from the founder of the PhageHunters program, Dr. Graham Hatfull and Deborah Jacobs-Sera in using the games as part of the curriculum. The students will also meet with Dr. Javier Lopez who teaches the class at Carnegie Mellon and Dr. John Pollock who is at Duquesne University and very interested in using technology to teach science.
We are spreading the word about iGEM! One of the high school students from the DiSCoBio program to which we gave a presentation in June used our project as her a motivation for her summer project. She and her teachers from a Pittsburgh area high school invited us to present at their school. They are also interested in forming a high school team.
3D Printing
As a mascot for the team we made a 3D printed phage.
