Explaining synthetic biology to 15-16 year old high school students is a challenge, since several different complex concepts must be introduced: the concept of gene, the central dogma of molecular biology (transcription and translation), plasmids and biological chassis.
Although some of these concepts are included in the high school curriculum, a comprehensive approach is needed to be able to convey to students not just a general idea of what synthetic biology is, but also of its relevance in today’s society.
The goal of the BioRoboost educational kit is to introduce these concepts in a one-hour session.
Teacher's Handbook
A didactic strategy that the teacher can implement for the students to further develop key synthetic biology concepts.
Presentation
Images and diagrams to illustrate the concepts explained throughout the class
Animation Video
A two-minute simple animation video explains the importance of standards in synthetic biology.
Card Game
A gamified activity that will allow for the students to consolidate the concepts learned throughout the class.
