Outreach at Brendan Court
Brendan Court is an enrichment program in which underprivileged students who are entering the seventh and eighth grades are given the opportunity to study mathematics, science, humanities, and the arts at St. Mark’s School of Texas during summer break. As an iGEM Team, we sought to teach and inspire the students in synthetic biology. We presented informative and engaging presentations that explained basic biotechnology concepts along with compelling and visual demonstrations that captivated the students.Directors of Outreach: Killian Green & Abhi Thummala
