Participate and share: Poster 
Natural models like the genome inspire design and engineering solutions, showing us how living things store, organize and codify all the information about how they will be shown and function. In this project, students use analytic and algorithmic concepts to formulate and build an electronic model of a biological phenomenon.
The purpose of these projects is to integrate micro-controllers such as Arduino boards and computational thinking to develop a bio-electronical model where students can recognise patterns and develop simulations to understand DNA.
Objectives:
At the end of the project, students should be able to:
Develop logically and algorithmically thinking, using computational tools for creating models in order to understand how the real world works
Building physical models to engage and understand higher order science concepts.
Understand what DNA is and how it works, enabling them to make sense of more complex topics such as “Evolution and Inheritance”.
Learn to work scientifically, to make hypotheses and test them, recognise patterns, and communicate their work.
Students introduce DNA phenomen with a video.
Students explain how DNA works and the likeness with computational thinking of their bio-electronic model.
The attender interacts with the model creating several simulations.
Students take time to respond to some attendees' questions.
