We fo­cused on schools as part of our out­reach. To make it in­clu­sive, we vis­ited gov­ern­ment run as well as pri­vate schools.

Visit Higher Secondary Govt. School

We vis­ited Higher Secondary School, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Students were mainly un­der the age group of 12-14 years. The ma­jor­ity of the stu­dents be­longed to mar­gin­alised farm­ing com­mu­ni­ties. They thor­oughly en­joyed the work­shop and the ac­tiv­i­ties ev­i­dent from their en­thu­si­as­tic par­tic­i­pa­tion dur­ing the ses­sion. Finally, as a to­ken of our ap­pre­ci­a­tion, we dis­trib­uted choco­lates to them.

Visit: The Sanskaar Valley School, Bhopal, MP

For our sci­ence ed­u­ca­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion, we wrapped it up with one of the well-known schools in India. We made stu­dents aware of en­vi­ron­men­tal pol­lu­tion due to stub­ble burn­ing and non-biodegrad­able plas­tic.

Synfinity- The iGEM IISER Bhopal Blog

As SynBio be­comes more promi­nent, every­one should un­der­stand it at what­ever depth suits them. With this thought, we started a blog called Synfinity on the ap­pli­ca­tions of syn­thetic bi­ol­ogy, e.g., food, plant-based ther­a­peu­tics, con­ser­va­tion, etc, along with aware­ness through so­cial me­dia.

The ar­ti­cles posted in the blog were:

  • SYNFINITY: The Infinite Applications of Synthetic Biology
  • The Chronicles of Gut Bacteria
  • The Subtle Art Of Thermophilic Bacteria
  • A Meat of Culture
  • Tiling-a key to evo­lu­tion?
  • SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
