One of the goals of our Estonia_TUIT team is to bridge the knowledge and fill the communication gap between the field of science and the general public. Each year we aim to find new approaches in education and communication that would be not only academically informative but also easily accessible and entertaining for everyone, including people of different educational and cultural backgrounds and from all age groups. When reaching out to the public, we not only spread the knowledge about science and synthetic biology but also introduce people to iGEM and our project and then take into account different perspectives regarding our project. To facilitate science education and open dialogue between scientists and the public, this year, our team organized various workshops, educational lectures and courses, info sessions, and public events, as well as participated in a number of education fairs, festivals, and multiple other events. Additionally, our team was actively taking part in different meetups with other iGEM teams with the goal of facilitating communication and information exchange within the scientific community.
