On day 1, they gave an introductory presentation and taught their peers how to transform bacteria with a foreign gene coding for the green fluorescent protein. On day 2, participants observed their 'glow-in-the-dark' bacteria, considered different applications of the technology and even came up with their own ideas for a genetically modified organism that would be useful or could solve a world problem. It was a great success and the feedback from the 21 participants was excellent. The YSJ students will enter the Aspire to Engineer: Genetic Engineering Challenge with a one minute video of this event. Wish them luck!
