Our school project
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 suposed 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
Defintion and planning (12 weeks)
Definition of project/s
Arrangement of work groups
Definition of objectives
Clarification of resources
Identification of Milestones
Project Work (36 weeks)
work group meetings
meetings with teacher and external partner
independent team work
presentation of intermediary results
Presentation and evaluation (12 weeks)
Presentation of results for school or external audience
creation and discussion of individual seminar portfolios
postprocessing (achievement of objectives, analysis of project work)

Since cooperation with external partners is desired by the schools, we thought about collaberating 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
  • 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.


Outline P-Seminar Synthetic Biology
Defintion and planning
basic knowledge in genetics and genetic engineerung is imparted via group work and presentations
A short introduction to synthetic biology, as well as to iGEM will be given
Work groups interested in different sub-projects will be arranged.
A mentor from the iGEM team is assigned to each sub-project
Project Work
work group meetings with mentor
independent team work
presentation and discussiom of intermediary results with all students
incorporation of project results into iGEM competition
Presentation and evaluation
Presentation of results on iGEM team wiki and for different audiences
creation and discussion of individual seminar portfolios
postprocessing (achievement of objectives, analysis of project work) with mentors
