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
