<header><h2>The Promotion of Bio-Engineering in our Community</h2></header>
+
-
<p>The St. Mark's School of Texas iGEM Team has been actively promoting the field of biotechnology. This year, the team released many tutorial videos for the basic protocols to help newer teams learn the basics of biotechnology. In addition, the team has also been working with agencies such as Brendan Court, a four-week, tuition-free enrichment program for middle school boys. The team has educated the boys in the Brendan Court program the harmful effects of lung cancer and how bio-engineering can help solve this problem by making detectors that can help detect the early-stages of this disease. The team also showed the boys the biology lab while also showing them basic science demonstrations in hopes of motivating the the boys in pursuing bio-engineering in the future. The St. Mark's iGEM team is also actively seeking to encourage more members of the school community to join the team by creating many social media pages to promote the team's cause.</p>

<p>The St. Mark’s iGEM Team is committed to serving the community through innovative research and engaging outreach. Our mission is in line with that of iGEM’s by promoting and fostering scientific research in our school and beyond. We strive to engage with social, cultural, ethical, philosophical, environmental, political, legal, and economic dimensions of synthetic biology. In our first year, we developed comics that would integrate synthetic biology concepts into the plot and artwork to bring youth awareness to our Biotechnology Initiative, created engaging YouTube biotechnology tutorial videos as we strove to give a global online audience access to quality instructional resources in synthetic biology, launched our school’s greatest social media campaign through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, and created a professional film to showcase our Biotechnology Initiative.
