| - | What comes to people's mind when they hear the word, 'Synthetic biology'? Many people don't know what it is, or have an ambiguous image that it is something dangerous.
| + | |
| - | This situation is not good for synthetic biology at all, because the applications and possibilities of this field are generally undermined, rendering application difficult, already made a struggle by the current laws.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | As a group related to synthetic biology, we, the team UT-Tokyo think it is important to approach the society and explain synthetic biology to improve this situation.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Introducing an interest in synthetic biology to children will be effective for these ends, for it is children that will shape the future of synthetic biology. So, we hosted a communication room at our college carnival.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | At the same time, we wanted to gain understanding from adults, who provide public opinion currently. We think the media is the best way to explain to many people at once.

| + | |
| - | In May 28th and 29th, we hosted the communication room at the University of Tokyo's official festival.
| + | |
| - | This festival, called May Festival, is one of the most popular college festival in Japan, and proud that visitors of the festival is more than 100,000 every year.
| + | |
| - | We made use of this fantastic situation to present what is Synthetic Biology, iGEM and what our team did.
| + | |
| - | We produced our team character, to draw attention of people. Isn't this characterized E.coli so cute? We had expected that this casual character may introduce many people to our room.
| + | |
| - | and yes, though we didn't know whether it was thanks to our character or not, we had a large variety of people, from youth to elderly, from baby to past igemer.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To explain what we did, we used our previous poster and modeling system, which was easy to see and understand.
| + | |
| - | We explained the basic knowledge of bioengineering. To make sure that visitors could understand according to their knowledge, we used two pamphlets.
| + | |
| - | One, we explained DNA, Cloning, Gene therapy, GM foods and iPS cell , and the other, E.coli, Plasmid, Bioengineering and iGEM.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Also, we conducted the intersting experiment with the children.
| + | |
| - | 'LET'S EXTRACT YOUR DNA' was it.
| + | |
| - | People can extract their DNA through their oral mucosa, so all they have to do was spilt their saliva.
| + | |
| - | We aimed to entertain children, however, in the end, many adults also got excited.
| + | |
