Our lady of the snows

A project where you can think outside of the box … I mean textbook – fantastical ! Twenty plus years of high school and I have never heard of Synthetic Biology before this one. We began our journey to experience the definition last December. At our small school nestled in the Canadian Rockies, “Jack of all Trades” is the name of the game. That is why a Math/Physics qualified teacher started an iGEM team. When I am not working at school, I double as a taxi driver to my two kids (say hello to my daughter below). There must always be time to play in the mountains too (awesome snow this March)!

I'm a mother, biology/special education teacher, technology enthusiast, semi-pro (read: recreational) mountain biker, and a general grumpypants. iGEM is like no other teaching and learning opportunity I've come across in a decade of work as an educator. I studied genetics and microbiology a mere ten years ago... And my how it's changed! A, T, C, G is the same, but that's about it..... Glad I have the students below to walk me through everything. Go team!

I am one of the luckiest teachers on earth! I get to live in beautiful Canmore and work with amazing students at Our Lady of the Snows school. As a music teacher, I am not the first person you would think of when you mention synthetic biology. Luckily, all of my years of organizing band trips have made me a perfect fit for the logistics and PR portion of this team. I am learning more about science everyday and enjoying the journey. Who knows, I might switch my teaching assignment to science next year. Wouldn’t that be a scary thought!

Science has always been interesting to me, and when I first heard of iGEM I was eager to participate. Since I am only in grade 9, when we first began working on this project I did not know much about the science involved. As our project progressed I learnt more about synthetic biology and lab work. I am particularly interested in working in the lab. My main interests outside of school and iGEM are rock climbing and reading.

I am 17 years old, and soon to be finished Grade 11 at Our Lady of the Snows. The iGEM team is a unique opportunity for our school, and it has provided many aspects for me to get involved. My main role on the team is the creator/manager of the online website, which I had to learn to do from scratch. I am also quite interested in the lab work. As extracurricular activities I enjoy reading, sports, and playing either guitar or piano.

Frances

Davies

I am currently a grade 11 student at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy. I have always been involved in sports my community and school. Injuries in sports have led me to a curiosity about the human body, which in turn led to a fascination with genetics. iGem presented me with the opportunity to learn about, and experiment with genetics. Though I am not interested in pursuing a post-secondary education in synthetic biology, opportunities such as iGem allow me to gain in depth knowledge pertaining to synthetic biology, lab protocols, and bioethics. I am involved in other groups within my community, such as student council and social justice.

Talia

Dixon

I am currently in grade 9, going to Our Lady of the Snows in Canmore, Alberta. I took an interest in iGEM because it sounded very interesting, educational, and can potentially open a lot of doors for me. It also allows me to try something new and gain experience in a different field. My interests include hockey and debating.

Hall

I am currently in twelfth grade at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Academy. I have always been involved with sports and my community. Through volunteering at the Canmore hospital I have been able to experience the ethics behind medicine and what synthetic biology can do for us in the future. I hope that in the future I will be able to apply the knowledge that I have learned to law, or psychology. I have always been passionate about biology, law, English, and social issues. I believe that the future will propose a lot of opportunities for synthetic biology and am elated that the opportunity has been given to me to be a part of it now and hopefully in the future.

I am a grade 9 student attending OLS. I am fourteen years old. My favourite subject has always been science, because it is interesting and I enjoy learning about it. I have been to seven schools, and this is the most interesting science opportunity that I have come across. When I heard about iGEM I was really interested and I thought it sounded cool, but since then I have learned a lot about DNA and bioengineering and I am enjoying it lots.

I am currently a grade 11 student at Our Lady of the Snows. My favourite science has always been biology. After I graduate from High school I plan on going to study Medicine or Bio-Medicine. I joined my school’s IGem team in order to further my experience in biology. I am enjoying the technical aspect of IGem and I am finding the Lab skills and practice very interesting. I believe that the lab skills learned from this project as well as furthering my knowledge of biology will directly relate to my post secondary studies. I am mainly working on the wet lab. My interests include skiing, kayaking, school sports, biology and science in the community.
