Outreach 2.0 is an attempt to change the way that we do outreach at iGEM. By creating an open source community of lesson plans and activity protocols, we hope to stimulate deeper, more engaging experiences for both sides of the exchange. Listed on this site, you will find the tools to present iGEM to those who have never heard of synthetic biology, plans and presentations to give stimulating recruitment talks at high schools, thoughtful considerations of bioethics and and its roles it should play in our future.

We are tired of giving friends five minute surveys and calling it “Outreach.” We hope that you are too. Let's set a new standard for how we do outreach, something that we will be proud off. The caliber of wetwork presented at the Jamboree is source of pride for advisors and teams, let us seek to match that same quality in every field we do.
Acknowledged, building a lesson plan or organizing an activity is more work than just typing up a survey, but by harnessing the power of the community, it may actually be easier in the long run. So as you start thinking about outreach, take a few minutes to peruse the growing content on this site, see what you can easily do. Try it out, tell everyone else how it goes. And if you are bold, and dissatisfied with the materials offered, write your own stellar outreach plans, and share it with everyone else!
