We hosted two days of lectures, marking the first installment of their new STEAM Forum Series, as mentioned in their Dragon Stories publication. Students were introduced to synthetic biology principles, techniques, and applications, as well as the iGEM competition. The Q&A sessions involved advising students on their current research, providing guidance on pathways into synthetic biology research, and offering external resources. Additionally, we supported students and staff in planning future experiments and their registration as Vietnam’s first-ever iGEM team, including its first high school team. +Located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Saigon South International School (SSIS) is a leading international school dedicated to fostering scientific inquiry and innovation.
