Introduction
[http://www.secondlife.com Second Life] is an online, virtual world, where every object, costume, creature and patch of land is crafted by inhabitants. It is a 3D chat engine, videogame platform, and virtual classroom all rolled into one.
iGEM Calgary is venturing aggressively into Second Life, harnessing the power of its modeling and scripting tools to create interactive models of classical operons and synthetic biology systems. We will imagine the future of synthetic biology, and walk students through the laboratories of today. In the past, our team has run seminars and lectures to introduce new students to the terminology and technology behind iGEM. In the future, students will interact with model systems directly and experiment with them to see how they work.
