Outreach
On the 22nd of September 2009 we ran an outreach event for pupils age 14-15 from a local school. The primary aim of the event is to inform and excite children about science in general as well as introduce them to synthetic biology. By involving them in a cutting edge field they will be better informed should controversy arise in the future.
The event was based around a heavily interactive presentation and also included an opportunity for the pupils to observe modified bacteria as well as other learning points that enable their curriculum.

In addition to the lab and presentation experiences, the pupils filled out a short worksheet asking questions about relevant material to help guage their knowledge about synthetic biology.
