Community Outreach
During the off season we took had the opportunity to share our project with our community at both the university level and the K-12 level. The UW Undergraduate Research Symposium, UW Engineering Discovery Days, and Young Scientist Week took place during the spring.
UW Undergraduate Research Symposium
During the spring, last year's team participated in the University of Washington Undergraduate Research Symposium. The university sponsored event had over 700 student participants and 3500 attendees. The 700 students come from all disciplines, not just the sciences. During the symposium, we were able to tell our community about the basics of synthetic biology and walk them through last year's work.
