Whitlow Elementary:
As part of iGEM’s goal to expand the ideas of biotechnology in the community, a group of iGEM students participated at the annual STEM Night at Whitlow Elementary. Here a diverse collection of subjects were discussed and iGEM was able to demonstrate common biotechnology applications to young children. The children were amazed and demonstrated curiosity in the synthetic biotechnology field. We demonstrated how a micropipette is used and the miniscule volume that is measured by them. Furthermore, a gel electrophoresis was set up to show some of the unique apparatus we work with. Parents attending were able to gain an understanding of the goals our team had set as well as the objectives of iGEM as a whole, and as a result Lambert iGEM has garnered recognition in the community as a well-developed club that has been able to accomplish admirable feats just a year after its inauguration.
