Publicity
Over the course of the project, we've made several attempts to publicize iGEM within the university and in Australia, to raise general awareness about not only our project but the competition in general. A significant part of this was the creation of the 'Strange Nature' writing competition, which aimed to engage high school students with the concepts of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. To advertise the competition, we sought the assistance of the Australian Science Teacher’s Association, the Gifted and Talented Students Organisations in each state, the Association of Independent Schools, CSIRO Education, as well as numerous home-schooling organisations and online education portals and emailed hundreds of schools across the country informing them about the writing competition and encouraging them to involve their students.
Aside from the Strange Nature competition, we made several appearances in the university media over the last few months, including:
Furthermore, Andrew was interviewed by Angela Owens for 702 ABC Radio about the Strange Nature competition and our project.
