The Idea
As we found out in our survey last year, many people know only few things about biology and even less about synthetic biology. Therefore we developed a workshop to teach some basics of biology and synthetic biology.
Since 2010, students of secondary schools (Gymnasium) in Bavaria have a new subject during their second last school year. This subject is realised via partnerships to other institions. Within this subject, we thought of a cooperation with a school in Munich where we would teach synthetic biology to the students and also organize some experiments for them.
The Test Workshop
In our first workshop, our participants learned about DNA, Plasmids, PCR and synthetic biology. They extracted DNA from bananas, watched fluorescent bacteria and hydra and developed own biobricks. Here are some pictures and vdeos from the workshop. (Perhaps also the presentation.)
