Our aim is to inform people in (each)age. After brainstorming and searching, we planned the content of information and activities according to age groups as follows.
5-10 year old group
For this age group we prepared and modified one of the national child game. In this game there is a circle of group of child, one is not included in that circle. It runs around that circle and labels one of the participants in circle. When recognizes, it chases that one with singing a (that) special song. In our modified game, the one that out of circle was our restriction enzyme due to our group in video, we assigned the enzymes into two,also they are double digestion enzymes. These ones wore white caps in video. And we have three insert groups which wore red, green and yellow caps. The blue capped ones were our backbone. During the game that we were playing, we explained to the kids what is DNA , enzyme and what is their function on human body. In addition, we also mentioned that what we have done as Synthetic Biology.
10-24 years old groups

10-24 years old groups
In this section, we tried our practices in two different groups as individuals.
10-17 year old group
This group of children consists of high school students. They were ready to get knowledge from us. When we saw their desire, we decided to explain them our project, so we started a game with them. We have paired them as two groups. Firstly we did a brainstorm about Synthetic Biology and the facilities of Synthetic Biology. After these training lessons, we have tried to describe them our project. In addition, our group made them to think about basic molecular biology procedures and what are the basic requirements for synthetic biological experiments. Furthermore, to get more attention, our research-group let them to do the basic experiments individually. After this amazing experience, we encouraged them to join iGEM High School division.
18-24 year old group
In this section, the group of people consists of METU students. We arranged the Physics lectures on METU Physics Department by contacting with lecturer Prof. Dr. Ali Murat GULER. Due to physics 106 course, we have reached to students in several departments with giving an effective presentation. We had told our project individually and tried to create an idea on their minds about Synthetic Biology. Our effort seemed work, because we gained many volunteers to join METU-iGEM team for the following years. Hence, we have an online lecture application as METU open course ware. For this web page, we have prepared the course notes and they were uploaded to reach many students to inform them on the topics about Synthetic biology and what are the benefits of it.
