The kit:

All the team agrees that the iGEM competition can be resumed to teamwork, learning, friendship, proper lab practices, and most of all fun. Therefor our goal is to emphasize what we think to be the four main cornerstones of the iGEM competition in one single kit containing four sections: “Education”, “safety”, “sharing” and “fun”. We had for ambitious objective to include these four aspects in one and single human practice project to have an impact on the student community of Switzerland.

Our idea is to use iGEM’s practical concept of “kit” to build an intelligent and educational kit of our own. This kit is meant to introduce high school students to synthetic biology through a simple experiment. We had some precise objectives we wanted to fulfill:

-Introduce the Swiss high schools to synthetic biology and make them love it!

-We want to help the teachers by providing them all the material they need to teach their students in a more practical way.

-Make the students participate and share their experience and thoughts with the synthetic biology community providing them links to forums and sites like BioBuilder and iGEM so they can develop their knowledge further and share their love with others for synthetic biology.

-Introduce them to the biosafety and make them conscious about others and the environment.

-Make them have fun while learning stuff!!
