Lecture in San Roman High School

On the morning of 5th August, members of our iGEM team gave a lecture at Saint Román High School. They introduced the basic knowledge of Synthetic Biology to the students and helped them comprehend how molecular biology works. Afterwards, they played a game in which the students had to think and design a genetic machine for a specific problem. They were curious about the biology world and asked many questions related to our work.
