KINDERGARTHEN
Fatih_Turkey team visited a kindergarten to tell children what genetic
engineering is!
Our one of the most important goals as a team Fatih_Turkey is to introduce iGEM
and Synthetic
Biology to the students in Turkey. But we did not want to limit ourselves
by choosing only same age groups and we decided to tell the
children, too.
Synthetic biology has been told them by consultating
with several pre-school institutions. Also
we told them that bacteria do not cause only diseases ,in fact, they can also do good
things for people. For
example; they can heal the wound or they can produce light. Then, we asked
what
their bacteria can do for them. We want them to show their ideas by painting. They are
only 6-age individuals but they have a lot of
original idea that can be seen by looking their paintings.
For instance;
* Bacteria that extends the hair 8 cm in 3 minutes',
* Bacteria massagers under the bed',
* Singer bacteria etc.
Consequently, we have told children that bacteria are not too harmful creatures.
In fact, sometimes, they would be very useful for people. This experience was a wonderful remembrance for us.
