A project where you can think outside of the box … I mean textbook – fantastical ! I have been in high school for 20+ years and have never heard of Synthetic Biology before this one. We began our journey to experience the definition last December. Why Genetic Engineering? Why not? The Arvisais family started at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy which is nestled in the Canadian Rockies for the 2011/12 school year. In our small school, “Jack of all Trades” is the name of the game. My professional responsibilities this year include: 9Math, 10Science, 10Math, 10PhysEd, 10Media, 11Physics, 11Career and Life Management, 11Forensics, 12Math, 12Physics, 12Biology, Junior High Debate, Senior Boys’ Volleyball, and iGEM. When I am not working at school I double as a taxi driver to my two kids (say hello to my daughter below). I do make time to play in the mountains too (awesome powder this March)! |

Science has always been interesting to me, and when I first heard of iGEM I was eager to participate. Since I am only in grade 9, when we first began working on this project I did not know much about the science involved. As our project progressed I learnt more about synthetic biology and lab work. I am particularly interested in working in the lab. My main interests outside of school and iGEM are rock climbing and reading. |

I am 17 years old, and soon to be finished Grade 11 at Our Lady of the Snows. The iGEM team is a unique opportunity for our school, and it has provided many aspects for me to get involved. My main role on the team is the creator/manager of the online website, which I had to learn to do from scratch. I am also quite interested in the lab work. As extracurricular activities I enjoy reading, sports, and playing either guitar or piano. |

I am currently in grade 9, going to Our Lady of the Snows in Canmore, Alberta. I took an interest in iGEM because it sounded very interesting, educational, and can potentially open a lot of doors for me. It also allows me to try something new and gain experience in a different field. My interests include hockey and debating. |

I am a grade 9 student attending OLS. I am fourteen years old. My favourite subject has always been science, because it is interesting and I enjoy learning about it. I have been to seven schools, and this is the most interesting science opportunity that I have come across. When I heard about iGEM I was really interested and I thought it sounded cool, but since then I have learned a lot about DNA and bioengineering and I am enjoying it lots. |
