We signed up for the student innovation challenge held at the University of Sydney where we got to show off our design to a panel and the public! It was great fun getting to see all the exciting innovations occurring around our uni and gave us much needed practice for the BIOMOD presentations. We were so close take the first prize and ended up as the Runner Up! At least it's a win for our first try and we ended the night with some delicious tapas.
To show off our project to the public, we also collaborated with the Sydney University Association of Biomedical Engineers and the School of Biomedical Engineering. With our joint efforts, we whipped up a fun and exciting event where students can both de-stress and learn a little bit about DNA origami! Just doing our part to get more people interested in this great opportunity.
