STUDENTS GROWING CHANGE
Embedded Files
The synthetic biology teams at OLS have iterated through several entrepreneurial STEM innovation cycles. The world standard for Synthetic Biology competitions is iGEM (international Genertically Engineered Machines competition out of Boston). Synthetic biology is a continually evolving and powerful technology that necessitates a do no harm approach to safety/ethics in anything we create. The ultimate goal is to innovate for the betterment of humankind and the world that we live in. We start by loving the problem, in order to better understand, before iterating our way through contextually appropriate solutions. Explore the snapshots of our journey below to find out more.
LOVE THE PROBLEM - " Oxybenzone in Chemical Based Sunscreens is Harming Coral and is an Endocrine Disruptor " ( iGEM Boston)
LOVE THE PROBLEM - " Plastic is NOT Getting Recycled " ( iGEM Boston )
LOVE THE PROBLEM - " Plastic is NOT Getting Recycled " ( The Berkeley Program and San Francisco Bay Area )
" We shepherd young scientists through the iterative process of bringing ideas from the lab into products and services that surround us. "
A collaboration between Berkeley Biolabs and
IDEO in San Francisco and
IndieBio biotech accelerator in San Francisco
and
and
OLS SYNBIO created their slogan
"Students Growing Change"
The first high school synthetic biology course in the world
Visit Alberta based Amino Labs for tools and education
LOVE THE PROBLEM - " Hair and Chicken Feathers are Wasted " ( iGEM Boston)
First peer reviewed high school synthetic biology journal publication
First peer reviewed high school synthetic biology journal publication
We were there at the start of BioTreks: the first international synthetic biology journal to be authored and reviewed by high school students. The journal is intended to give participating students the valuable experiences of writing and evaluating scientific papers, while offering them opportunities to share their own synthetic biology ideas, techniques, and results in a professionally edited, online publication. Our first contributions are:
