Team:OLS Canmore AB CA/Outreach.html

This year, the team chose to focus on three key projects:

• Creating a working biobrick by assembling two biobricks made by previous iGEM teams


• Setting up a synthetic biology laboratory


• And educating our community about our project and synthetic biology. The latter of which was separated into two different parts, one of them is community outreach.

Once our project goal—creating a heat-induced olfactory biosensor—was decided, several different team members discussed different ways to talk to community members and get them interested in our iGEM project and synthetic biology. In the end, we decided on pursuing three different ideas: Presenting to teachers and other students at our school, connecting with friends, family, and peers through social media, and talking about our project to the town council is the third.
