        <p style="text-indent:40px; margin-left:7%; margin-right:7%">SynBio101: Summer Camp was Team RUM-UPRM’s main educational effort that lasted a week long. On Friday, we presented our project to the students participating in the experience. We started by explaining the problem and our reasons to focus on the contamination of Vieques. The presentation also included the different efforts and initiatives we designed to incorporate as Human Practices. We also showed the genetic circuits we had up until that moment, along with our rough ideas of the hardware. This presentation was very successful to us because we wanted to show them how to present an original project, which they were doing the next day, and to open a free discussion of our project. This format allowed us to see their new, fresh, and different points of view, and incorporate them into our project. During the year, we offered presentations to various settings and audiences about Synthetic Biology and our possible solution for Vieques, but these were very limited to an open discussion due to the formats of these forums. With the high schoolers, we were able to open our project to critiques and suggestions, especially in the Human practices initiatives and hardware.</p>

        <p style="text-indent:40px; margin-left:7%; margin-right:7%">The students started by questioning different areas of the project they did not understand, which made us rethink and modify our approach to explain the genetic circuit and its function, and to focus more on the specific contaminants in Vieques. In the Human Practices area, they suggested talking to local stakeholders that had worked before in Vieques. Another recommendation was to present and educate more the Puertorican people on Synthetic Biology, not just academia since this is a science that benefits the whole population. They also asked what we were doing to make sure people with differing needs could understand Synthetic Biology, pointing out the importance of including communities with disadvantages to our conversations. These recommendations became different initiatives like the collaboration with the University’s Association of Sign Language (AUSL) and graduate student PhD-MD Ian DeAndrea-Lazarus. In the Engineering aspects, the students presented concrete ideas and suggestions for our hardware, including what it should do and look. This enthusiastic reaction from the students inspired us to create and design the Bioreactor Design for Synthetic Biology Applications Competition.

Cristina Torres, Yamilex Acevedo, Gabriela Lopez, Paola, Jean and Pedro took the time on May 21th to express their experiences regarding investigations they have previously done in the natural science field. As fellow puertoricans, they revealed how they manage to work with communities who were not part of the academia. This last point was important for us to know, in order to continue educating and talking to others about our project. </p>

SynBio101: Summer Camp

SynBio101: Summer Camp is an educational summer experience in which iGEM RUM-UPRM presents and teaches high school students the fundamental concepts of synthetic biology. In this week-long, the students experienced topics on genetic circuits, bioinformatics, applications, among others. At the end of the week, the students were able to give us feedback on our project and were able to present in groups original prototypes. To learn more about our SynBio101: Summer Camp click here.

Integrated Human Practices

iGEM RUM-UPRM is compromised with involving the community in the project. By incorporating the ideas and thoughts of the public, we were capable of creating a two way conversation. We educate them about synthetic biology and the problems we want to solve in Puerto Rico, while the community helps us build the knowledge we need, allowing us to have different perspectives while developing our investigation. To know more about our Integrated Human Practices click here to see more information!

Education & Public Engagement

Being the only team from Puerto Rico and the Caribbean gave us the responsibility of being agents of change in our regions. In order to do so, we had to educate the Puerto Rican public to understand what synthetic biology is and what is possible to do with it. We had to develop activities that fit into the needs of every specific public we presented to. Click here to find out more about this part of our project.

Inclusion

By doing more inclusive work we brought to our attention different perspectives into our project. Not only did we gain a new view point for our genetic circuit but also, we learned what aspects we should take into consideration for the educational efforts we were doing. We want to be able to create a safe space for synthetic biology in Puerto Rico where everyone feels included, accepted and validated. If you want to learn more about how we did it, click here.
