Overview
This year our team prepared three different human practices, each one facing a distinct public and with a different proposals. As a binational team, we could disseminate to public from our countries (Brazil and France) the knoledge acquired during the development of our project. Additionally, we decide to innovate, creating a didactical method to teach genetic engineering in schools, to a public that have never heard about this scientific field. We were very happy with our results, specially with the high school students feedback. They were very enthused about the Video class and DNA workshop we prepared to them. Also, they became very interested in learning about genes, promoters, devices and important issues related to them.
Click the images below to see each Human Practices we have done:
We believe we were able to target the following:
- We created a educational method (see here) to disseminate knoledge about genetic engineering and synthetic biology in schools and we could test this method and prove it's efficacy in providing to the students an overview of this scientific
fields and also to get their attention and turn them more interested in this area;
- The DNA workshop was a wonderfull educational activity (either for us);
- The video class that we created can be used to disseminate and promote the area in a simple language. Everyone can watch the video and might will understand:
- what is Genetic Engineering and Synthetic Biology,
- how they can be used to solve important problems
- how they are integrated in our daily life
- examples of such items
- We could obtain general information about knoledge in genetic engineering among the target audiences (either for the two talks (at CAEB and at EMSE) than for the high-school students from Belo Horizonte city.
- The surveys also allowed us to obtain views about different aspects of synthetic biology;
