Outreach

Check out our human practices and community outreach!

June 10-13 we held two sessions (morning and afternoon) of a middle school bioscience camp. It was themed "Life: an expedition". The camp was aimed at introducing students to the diversity of life and experience the latest technologies in molecular biology using state of the art equipment. Students had an opportunity to work with organisms inside and out in their native environment. The iGEM team and CAPS alumni volunteered as helpers at the camp. We taught them about DNA, synthetic biology, and ecology through hands-on activities.
