iGEM CIDEB 2014 - Project

Memory Game

Objective: This activity was done to accomplish three main targets of the Team: (1) to make people understand the importance of safety in the lab; (2) to make easier and faster the way people learn biohazard, risk and laboratory signs; and (3) to identify them and keep them in mind every time people work in the laboratory.

Description: Team Safety from iGEM CIDEB 2014 designed and built two memory games in one single structure of a considerable size in order to use them in most activities that were done in the semester.

The structure’s size was 1 meter of length, 1.22 meters of height and .71 meters of width. Each side of the cubes that hold the images measured 22cm.

The first game, the main one, was used to give a fun and easy explanation of the warning signs in the laboratory by inviting people to identify the signs and their corresponding meaning.

The other one was about the project. It was used to explain the different modules and its objectives to the members of our school.

The “2 in 1” memory game was also used in Human Practices’ activities, to obtain a maximum advantage out of it. Some activities were planned with both of this games, mainly competitions within 2 people trying to beat the time record other participant accomplished.

Each poster included a different bacteria or virus. The organisms described were the following:

B. Anthracis

Campylobacter jejuni

Clostridium tetani

Ebola virus

Escherichia coli

HIV

Marburgo virus 

Mycobacterium leprae

Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Salmonella


The posters were placed in the main stairs of the entrance of our school, that way we assured most, for not saying all, of the people that entered the building would saw them.

Results:

Since the first day the posters were placed, the team observed that they caught people, teachers and student’s attention. They would stop their walk in order to take a look and read them. We consider this happened because some of the posters contained information that people are interested in for different reasons, like Ebola virus or HIV. Some students and teachers asked different members of the team about the posters, and became interested in what we do at iGEM.

The posters had a great response in the CIDEB community
