- Event Date: October 26th & November 2nd, 2023
- iGEM Representative: Kelly Nyanchama, iGEM Ambassador to Africa
The audience was keen to learn about synthetic biology, iGEM and how the competition works. The society (JKUSOB) through its chairman, promised to consider creating a team in the next cycle or participate in the iGEM Leagues program. The society is well organized and they already have prospective ideas for their participation. After the talk, Kelly received a very heartwarming email from the society and that spoke volumes on the impact of the presentation.
