Goal

Outreach

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 overall at Skyline College.

Poster Presentation at San Mateo Library
