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.

GSU iGEM

Cross Keys High School

V arious high schools around the state of Georgia receive relatively low funding and may not be able to provide their students with resources most other schools may get. This also limits their ability to have STEM related activities and/or courses. This year, our iGEM team was invited to speak at a local, underprivileged school, Cross Keys High School. We gave them a presentation about our iGEM project this year and included details about what it is like to be part of an undergraduate research lab. A bilingual team member, Laura, translated the presentation in Spanish as it went along because a majority of the students in attendance spoke Spanish as their first language.

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 speaking 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.

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 to develop a schedule to host Synthetic Biology workshops for their biotechnology course. We also hope to kick start their biotechnology course by helping set the curriculum and course schedule as well as donating some lab supplies such as micropipettes and other commonly used lab supplies.

Atlanta Science Festival

Atlanta Science Festival is an annual event held in Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia that invites families and people from all over the community to learn about science in an exciting way! All kinds of science organizations, companies, and schools have a table set up with some sort of activity planned for the participants to take part in to expand their scientific knowledge! Discovery Day aims to achieves the same goal but is held at Georgia State University and is organized by its faculty and students.
