The Idea
As we found out in our survey last year, many people know only few things about biology and even less about synthetic biology. Therefore we developed a workshop to teach some basics of biology and synthetic biology.
Since 2010, students of secondary schools (Gymnasium) in Bavaria have a new subject during their second last school year. This subject is realised via partnerships to other institions. Within this subject, we thought of a cooperation with a school in Munich where we would teach synthetic biology to the students and also organize some experiments for them.
