On September 22nd, Cornell iGEM held a Skype meeting with the members of W&M iGEM to discuss the integration
of their curli fibers into our bioreactor. Since curli fibers enable biofilm development, our team sought to
use them to improve the efficiency of trapping our bacteria in alginate beads. After we received the DNA
parts from W&M iGEM, we tested whether the efficiency of our bioreactor was higher with or without the curli
fibers. [results?]
<br>
<br><br>
Our team also forwarded our alginate bead formation protocol to W&M iGEM so they could look for the
experimental conditions that promote optimized bacterial adhesion onto the alginate beads. [results?] </p>

DNA, so the kids were able to understand why they were adding dish soap and isopropyl alcohol to the
strawberry liquid. From this point, we drew parallels between the protocols used in wet lab work to the
extraction they just accomplished with everyday household materials.
<br><br>
At the gel electrophoresis station, we discussed the purpose and process of performing gel electrophoresis
in the lab before showing them how to properly use a micropipette. We then had each kid try pipetting a
small amount of juice into an agarose gel.
<br><br>
For the bioethics activity, we prepared three case studies that examined issues relevant and urgent to the
synthetic biology community. Our goal with this station was to open discussions to address any
misconceptions and answer any questions the students might have about synthetic biology. The students were
very receptive to the prompts and brought up key points that at times were even overlooked by the case
studies. It was also encouraging to see some of the adults who were supervising the students during the
event participate in the conversations to share their multi-generational perspectives and understandings of
how synthetic biology impacts the greater community.

We wrapped up each session with a Kahoot quiz, which is an interactive online quiz that students can
participate in using their mobile devices, to review the concepts taught at each station. The Kahoot was a
huge success since many students were already familiar with this popular teaching tool that allows students
to partake in a friendly competition to see who knows the most about the quiz topics. In our case, the
Kahoot provided an additional incentive for the students to pay close attention during the mini-lessons at
each station where members of our iGEM team explained the science behind our prepared activities. Through
the 4-H Careers Exploration event, we were able to spark conversations about different career options in the
field of synthetic biology and get the students excited about its endless possibilities.

Cornell iGEM created an informational booklet on the subject of harmful algal blooms to teach community
members about the background, prevalence, and existing treatment methods for the issue. We also included a
section that touched on the details of our project and how reHAB provides a more efficient and effective
method of detection and remediation of microcystins. The PDF of our booklet can be found under the
corresponding section of our <a href="https://2019.igem.org/Team:Cornell/Collaborations">Collaborations</a>
