Team:Queens Canada/Outreach

This year QGEM collaborated with Shad Valley Queen’s to create a workshop in the field of synthetic biology for high school students. Our goal for this outreach initiative was to expose secondary school students to the emerging field of synthetic biology and spark an interest in this new technology. We tried to emulate the iGEM experience and with these ideas in mind planned a two day crash course. To read more about our Shad Valley workshop click here .

We've also reached out to different sources concerning our project and spread awareness of what we have been up to. The Kingston Whig has been kind enough to write an article about our endeavors. We have also been contacted by Ontario Morning, a CBC radio show who interviewed our project manager, Henry Barron. Click below to have a look at them!
