- Our school project
In principle we have the same objectives as for our workshop. Our goal is to encourage as many students and people as possible to think about synthetic biology. After the seminar, the participants should be aware of chances and risks imposed by new applications. Hopefully, ideas for dealing with safety and security will come up. At best, they will reflect on ethic issues as well.
- The P-Seminar at Bavarian Schools
Since 2010 students of secondary schools in Bavaria (federal state in Germany) have a new course during their two last school years. The so-called P-Seminar is a project based seminar that is supposed to encourage self-based research as well as group work.
The project work is accomplished with the help of external partners such as public authorities, social and cultural institutions as well as research institutes or universities.
The work includes three stages as shown in the following table:
| Outline P-Seminar | |
|---|---|

|
Since cooperation with external partners is desired by the schools, we collaborate with schools to create a P-Seminar Synthetic Biology. The aim is not to make students think synthetic biology is always good, but rather to encourage them to think about possible risks and chances of synthetic biology. The impact of the project will be duplicated by the work of the students, i.e presentations, human practice projects etc.
- Possible Projects/ Sub-projects
Here we show some projects that could be carried out by the students. Many more are possible.
- Preparing discussions for other courses/grades (i.e religion, social studies, ethics or biology classes)concerning safety, security and ethics
- Designing a homepage about the school project
- Cloning Procedure -> Understanding the procedure, planning and excecution
- Generate a movie about one topic concerning synthetic biology
- Creating either a board game or a computer game as a possible information tool
- P-Seminar Synthetic Biology
There are many options for a P-Seminar Synthetic Biology. Here we show a possible seminar structure we already discussed with some teachers from two different schools in Munich. Due to the school summer break we weren't able to start a seminar yet.
