<p>As stated before, this CO sensor would be useful in many ways:
 
-
<p>1. It would not require constant power, this means that you could use it in locations with easy access to power, such as third world countries, underground places/mines, portable/handheld, etc.</p>
 
-
<p>2.It would be small and compact, allowing for easy transportation, meaning it could be carried by people everywhere, providing constant protection.</p>
 
-
<p>3. It would create a smell, this means that deaf and blind people would be able to be aware of it, as well as allowing people with headphones or ear protection to sniff out CO. This Means that it would have many uses beyond the ordinary electric, roof-bound, carbon monoxide sensor. </p>

Expanding Your Horizon

On March 15th we went to Skyline College to be part of the Expanding Your Horizons program. Expanding Your Horizons is a series of workshops designed to encourage more young women to enter the realms of science and math, as currently the gender ratios in those subjects are not 50/50. We introduced future high schoolers to the idea of synthetic biology. Over the course of our three workshops, we used an interactive model to simulate how a plasmid is synthesized and the parts in it, introducing the young women to the basics of synthetic biology.

Poster Presentation at Skyline College

On April 24th, we gave a poster presentation about our team's goal and synthetic biology in general at Skyline College.
