                         <p><span>V</span> <span>arious high schools within the state of Georgia are poorly funded, and this limits their ability to have STEM activities and/or courses. This year, the team was invited to speak at a local, underprivileged Cross Key’s high school. We gave a brief presentation about this year’s project and included details about what it is like to be part of an undergraduate research course. A bilingual team member translated the presentation in Spanish as it went along.

                         <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> Our goal for that day was to not only raise awareness about Coral Bleaching, but to also connect with and encourage students to take STEM-related courses. Many times, students who come from a background without higher education or a greater social-economic status may not feel prepared enough to be successful in these courses. The team members took turns talking about their personal hardships and advised the students to take a leap of faith and pursue their dreams regardless of the obstacles. STEM-related courses are a great way for students to learn how to work well with others, be responsible, and obtain research experience. </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>

                        <p>After speaking to the students on a personal level, they seemed to be more interested and began to ask questions about the project. These varied from “How do you get the Coral?” to “How will you be able to change the Algae’s DNA?” This definitely encouraged our team to think about the future plan of the project and how to proceed if we successfully cultured and transformed the algae. Following the presentation, many students decided to sign up for an upcoming biotechnology course at the school. We plan on visiting the students again and develop a schedule to host Synthetic Biology workshops for their biotechnology course.</p>

GSU iGEM

Atlanta Science Festival & Discovery Day

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.


More Outreach

Cross Keys High School

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.
