At SB5.0, many iGEM team members and their advisors met to discuss the prospects of collaborating on outreach and human practices projects and facilitating communication among iGEM teams.
This outreach and human practices collaboration was inspired by the following:
- "Avenues for Education About Synthetic Biology" workshop challenge: What is the most effective way to reach out to the community and educate them about synthetic biology and its applications? What would the ideal education plan look like?
- Interacting with Society Panel: What can the synthetic biology community do to inform the public and thus increase acceptance of our work? How can we address public concerns about safety and ethics?
This website is one means by which we can collectively reach out to the global community.
Presented here are ideas for synthetic biology-inspired activities, course plans, and educational media that iGEM teams have shared with the goal of improving the scope and quality of synthetic biology outreach efforts. We invite you to use and adapt these ideas when sharing synthetic biology with your own community. In return, we ask that you make your own contribution by adding activities and lesson plans, suggesting improvements to ideas already listed, and sharing your outreach experiences.
