Science Centre

The current biotechnology room

Delft University of Technology contains its own technology museum, Science Centre Delft, where you can discover what science and technology mean for the society. The museum is mainly based on primary school children who can experience technique issues in a playful and experimental way. The Science Centre has a biotechnology room in which movies about micro-organisms, made by the previous TU Delft iGEM team, are shown. Furthermore, the room contains a flow cabinet and a laboratory table, which is used for workshops during the weekend. On one wall microscopic pictures from micro-organisms are displayed and on another a quote. Because we think biotechnology is so much more then this, we decided to contact the Science Centre to see what we could do to make the room more attractive for children to enter and to let them discover a world of little animals which can not be seen by the naked eye.
