                         <p><span>D</span> <span>iscovery Day is an event organized by hosted by Georgia State's students and staff where we invite families from all around the community to come and learn about all things science! Georgia State’s iGEM team participated in GSU's Discovery Day, where we created an activity for young students to construct their own plasmid containing a promoter, RBS, coding sequence, and terminator. Their plasmid was represented by a bracelet. Each participant made their own bracelet using different colored/shaped beads. The different colored beads represented different features of a plasmid. Students constructed a plasmid that had a promoter, a ribosomal binding site, coding sequence of a fluorescent protein, and a terminator. After constructing their plasmid, they transformed it into E. coli by placing it into a cardboard cartoon E.coli model. The E. coli then produced a protein, a jolly rancher, based on the coding sequence that the student chose to put in their plasmid bracelet. The students were able to learn a little bit about plasmid assembly and how to transform their plasmids into E. coli to express the protein they coded for. We wanted to show the students the basics of what we do in our lab in introduce them to the idea of biotechnology.<p>

                        <p>coming to your place only for a haircut, skin treatment, or just a manicure, you are wrong. People now consider their visit to the Salon &amp; Spa as not just a beautification process but a spiritual getaway. You don’t know which customer entered your Salon &amp; Spa to get a pedicure and their only intent was to uplift their soul and feel good about themselves.</p>

<p><span>E</span><span> xploration Expo also known as Atlanta Science Festival is the same kind of event as Discovery Day but on a much larger scale. Atlanta Science Festival takes place in Piedmont Park and has hundreds of tables where all kinds of members from the scientific community are represented. Each table has a certain activity planned that fosters a greater appreciation and understanding of complex concepts in a fun and engaging way. We did the same plasmid assembly activity as the one done on Discovery Day and it was a great hit! We had participants of all ages participate from all kinds of demographic and educational backgrounds. This event had a much larger audience with a wider age range. Young children and teens stopped by our booth to learn about transformation and protein production. We were able to interact with a diverse group of students and parents in not only English, but Spanish and Chinese as well. This was a fulfilling and successful outreach experience that GSU iGEM will participate in again in the future. </span> </p> </div>

GSU iGEM

Atlanta Science Festival & Discovery Day

March 16, 2019 & March 23, 2019

D iscovery Day is an event organized by hosted by Georgia State's students and staff where we invite families from all around the community to come and learn about all things science! Georgia State’s iGEM team participated in GSU's Discovery Day, where we created an activity for young students to construct their own plasmid containing a promoter, RBS, coding sequence, and terminator. Their plasmid was represented by a bracelet. Each participant made their own bracelet using different colored/shaped beads. The different colored beads represented different features of a plasmid. Students constructed a plasmid that had a promoter, a ribosomal binding site, coding sequence of a fluorescent protein, and a terminator. After constructing their plasmid, they transformed it into E. coli by placing it into a cardboard cartoon E.coli model. The E. coli then produced a protein, a jolly rancher, based on the coding sequence that the student chose to put in their plasmid bracelet. The students were able to learn a little bit about plasmid assembly and how to transform their plasmids into E. coli to express the protein they coded for. We wanted to show the students the basics of what we do in our lab in introduce them to the idea of biotechnology.

E xploration Expo also known as Atlanta Science Festival is the same kind of event as Discovery Day but on a much larger scale. Atlanta Science Festival takes place in Piedmont Park and has hundreds of tables where all kinds of members from the scientific community are represented. Each table has a certain activity planned that fosters a greater appreciation and understanding of complex concepts in a fun and engaging way. We did the same plasmid assembly activity as the one done on Discovery Day and it was a great hit! We had participants of all ages participate from all kinds of demographic and educational backgrounds. This event had a much larger audience with a wider age range. Young children and teens stopped by our booth to learn about transformation and protein production. We were able to interact with a diverse group of students and parents in not only English, but Spanish and Chinese as well. This was a fulfilling and successful outreach experience that GSU iGEM will participate in again in the future.

Cross Keys High School
May 18, 2019

There are some high schools in the Atlanta area that are poorly funded and are unable to provide many STEM opportunities for their students. These schools often have students who are underrepresented in STEM and some who may not even consider college an option after graduation. The GSU iGEM team was invited to come and give a presentation about our project and undergraduate research in general. We were hoping to inspire the students at Cross Keys High School to give them a better understanding of what undergraduate research is like and to help them see themselves as the scientists of tomorrow. We are also working to get a biotechnology class started there to help them get a head start.
