Jr. High School Visits [ Back]


Colegio Labastida

Our team was a special guest, where we were part of the anual science fair; we made our presentation before approximately 300 children from different grades at junior high level. We completed the banana DNA extraction in a demonstrative exhibition; kids showed curiosity and interest towards the topic during the talk and the DNA extraction activity.


Colegio Independencia

We were invited to present our talk to last year junior high student, who were very interested in the topic; we perfomed the DNA extraction with whole groups.



Escuela Secundaria # 3

We participated with our talk and the project generation activity, using some already registered BioBricks; satisfactory results were obtained, as kids presented their own projects, showing that they understood the concept of Synthetic Biology and iGEM.


Colegio La Salle

We were invited to give our talk and to perform our activity of generating a Project using BioBricks. Kids were very enthusiastic. We also presented an introduction to Synthetic Biology and performed the DNA extraction.


Secundaria # 83

The team was invited to this junior high school in the municipality of Guadalupe. We gave our introductory talk about Synthetic Biology and performed the banana DNA extraction.


Memorable Experiences [ Back]


Cada uno de los miembros del equipo iGEM UANL vivió al igual que los jóvenes de las secundarias experiencias inolvidables. He aquí algunas de ellas:



1: DNA
Topics: -DNA as the information storage molecule in all living things. -Organization of DNA within cells. -Molecular structure of DNA -DNA structure model. Activity: Puzzle board game to learn how DNA is copied.
2: Genes
Topics: -Genes as functional units of DNA -Organization and parts of a genes -How do the genes work? -Central dogma of molecular biology.  Activity: Puzzle with multiple options to explain gene function through the central Dogma. -Use of common examples.
3: Proteins
Topics: -Proteins as carriers of most biological processes -Types of proteins -Examples of  common proteins -The genetic code  Activity: Build a protein from DNA code (translation), Protein models.
4: Genetic Engineering
Topics: -Recombinant DNA technology -Restriction enzymes, ligase and vectors -Examples.  Activity: Build a recombinant DNA molecule with colored cables  and transform a cell.
5: Synthetic Biology
Topics: -Universality, modularity and abstraction of bioparts -Synbio as the application of engineering concepts to biology -Advancements in DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies. Activity:  Construct a genetic circuit on a board and estimate time and costs to build it.
6: Biobricks
Topics: -BioBricks as standard DNA parts - Parts of a BioBrick - Types of BioBricks. -Biobrick assembly -The Registry of Standard Biological Parts Activity: Put compatible bricks together.
7: Biological machine
Topics: -Imagine the possibilities -Addressing high impact problems through biomachines. -Metabolic load -Advantages of biomachines over robots. Activity: "Labyrinth of metabolism" so that the visitor knows that "parts" must be manipulated to make a organism perform certain function.
8: Applications of SynBio
Topics: -Impact of SynBio in a wide variety of areas - Examples of issues solved through SynBio (How do these projects work?)  Activity: The visitor must correlate a specific genetic circuit to its application area.
9: iGEM
Topics: iGEM as the biggest synthetic biology competition, rules, motivation, scope. - iGEM UANL 2011 and 2012 -CIDEB-UANL 2012  Activity: -Explain our 2011 project -Exhibition of the light-machine used in our project -Explain CIDEB's 2012 project
10: Ethics and Biosafety
Topics: -Ethics definition -Human quality of life -Good and ugly -Impact awareness -Acceptance of SynBio -Potential problems -Precautions taken to prevent them -Biosafety levels Activity: Dress with biosafety equipment  (lab coat, glasses, gloves…) as fast as possible!
