Human Practices -To spread LIFESCIENCE throughout the world

In 2010, iGEM Kyoto and other iGEM teams in Japan carried out an attitude survey towards genetically modifying and genetically engineering. We concluded that It seems that people only have abstract and unclear image to this 'professional' technique. Genetic engineering is not still so common in Japan. And many people worry about safety. So engineers are desired to develop safety of biotechnology and spread knowledge about biotechnology.” Considering this conclusion, it is important to enrich the people's knowledge on biotechnology when we want public people to accept biotechnology more. Therefore, we carried out these activities as below.

Life Science Seminar in High School

豊中高校に行って分子細胞生物学に関する講義と実験指導をおこなった よりライフサイエンスに親しんでもらえ、根底からの知識を実験という体験を交えて教育することができた このことはバイオテクノロジーに対する正しい理解をうむことになるだろう ながーく書いてね 頼む

Poster session at the school festival

Our University has a school festival called NF every year. This is one of the biggest events in our university and many people from all around Japan visit it. This year, iGEM Kyoto presented our project to these visitors by poster session, and this was actually broadcasted by a popular Japanese TV news program. Through this TV program, we were able to spread our activity to the general public, and succeeded in increasing general knowledge towards biotechnology and life science.

The 4th international symposium on liberal arts and general education

The 4th international symposium on liberal arts and general education is a large scale symposium where many students and public people visit. Therefore, is a good opportunity to enrich people's knowledge on biotechnology and life science to many people. Through presenting our iGEMs’ project here, we enriched people's understanding on life science. Additionally, we received the "Einstein" prize.

International Student Seminar

iGEM Kyoto participated in ISS, short for International Student Seminar. In this seminar いっぱいいろんな人来たよ 外国人もいっぱい来たよ 英語でプロジェクトのプレゼンしたよ それを通していろんなひとのライフサイエンスに対する知識を増やしたよ

このような活動を行ってきた。

しかし、そういった活動を行ったが知識の差だけではなくほかにも要因があるのではないかという疑念が出てきた. We carried out these activities, however, we thought whether そこで、私たちはほかの要因を探るべくアンケート調査を行った。
