Education
There are two goals for our educational activities.
We took notice of the word “mutual learning” from the judging handbook and raised it as what we should aim for.
The first is mutual learning. We interpreted interaction as a combination of providing learning opportunities and receiving feedback from learners. Learners gain knowledge about synthetic biology from us,the providers, while we,the providers learn from feedback about better ways to deliver learning and areas where our knowledge was lacking, applying these insights to future efforts.
The second goal is to eliminate biases among providers and learners. We believe that everyone holds unfounded preconceptions and biases, which create barriers between people and synthetic biology. Therefore, we will correct misunderstandings carefully through our well-prepared activities. Additionally, we will promote the enjoyment and fascination of synthetic biology. This approach will lead to the elimination of biases among both providers and learners.
We are confident that achieving these two goals will increase the number of people with a correct understanding of the synthetic biology community, leading to further development as new participants.
Therefore, we implemented initiatives to achieve our goals following the process outlined below.
We implemented this process across the following five generations. Tap the apple to view details.

ESCAPE
~Escape from the Virus Release Site~, an escape game for university students, at Gifu University Spring Festival
Through simple experiments, students can deepen their understanding of biology.
Replicas of instruments actually used in laboratories were created and displayed.
