3D/VR/AR Hackathon: Innovating Science Outreach with Technology

Join the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) at their 3D/VR/AR Hackathon to build educational apps and games for science outreach. Use your imagination and technologies like 3D, VR, and AR to teach biological and bioinformatics concepts to the general public and kids. Meet other bioinformaticians, have fun, learn something new, and create something amazing!

  1. SIB 3D / VR / AR Hackathon 2017 Bioinformaticians@SIB meet people

  2. Who are those bioinformaticians@SIB ?

  3. SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Academic & non-profit organisation which federates bioinformatics activities throughout Switzerland. It was founded in 1998 and has 785 members. Mission(s) • Coordination of bioinformatics infrastructure, resources, expertise and services in Switzerland • Education and Training

  4. What is this hackathon about? Theme: Public / Science Outreach (events, museums for kids and public…) Marie Claude has some games but we thought we could do better! Why not innovate and teach bioinformatics with new technology: 3D / VR / AR have lots of potential! Your goal: Build a game / educational app for science outreach Open Geneva Deliverables: Poster(s) / 1 Presentation ~2 minutes (does not need to be a working game, prototype / concept) Most importantly: meet people, have fun, learn something and be nice with each other!

  5. Game Ideas The limit is your imagination…. You can use whatever you want: • 3D / VR / AR (in combination with QR codes, cards, scrabble letters, …. ) • Tablets / Phones / WebVR / Google CardBoards (1x) / Oculus Rifts (2x) ... • Unity3D / React VR / Vuforia (AR) / JS libraries / ... But the rule is: Your application should be useful for outreach and therefore should teach biological / bioinformatics concepts to general public / kids. Do not neglect resources accessibility in order to maximise the people “outreached”. Your ideas first but if you need some ideas we have a nice catalogue :) • Medical drugs targeting proteins • Personalized medicine / cancers • Protein hunt • Peptide search • Molecules similarity

  6. Agenda for Today / Tomorrow Agenda for the next 34 hours :) • ~ 15 min presentation of outreach from Marie Claude • People Ideas & Brainstorm 45 min / 1h and form teams (coffee, … ) • Start hacking :) • Lunch (sandwiches, any allergies / vegan ?) • Continue hacking ... • ~ 4pm Media • 6pm Posters should be sent to OpenGeneva • … • ~ 7pm pizzas • 23h30 (building closes) Sunday / Tomorrow • Does anybody need this room in the morning? • ~200 people presentations / demos & posters / Cocktails 16h REGISTER (EventBrite)

  7. Communication / Media Gitter chat: https://gitter.im/sib3d/Lobby (everybody in?) • @JRodrigoF experienced with VR and 3D modeling. • 2 experts in Unity3D (@tushar AR and @shubham in VR) Put your project on GitHub (License: MIT or BSD or CC) Twitter hashtags: #opengeneva #SIB3D @ISBSIB Social media and TV: • Tell us if you don’t want to be photographed during the event. • Tell us if you don’t want to be recorded by TV. • Tell us if you want to be interviewed (more potential to be selected for Sunday presentation)

  10. Outreach activities at SIB One of the SIB’s missions is to bring bioinformatics to the layman, contributing to a better understanding of this science SIB isinvolved in outreachactivitiessince 2000

  11. Objectives and target audiences • 1) “Lien avec la cité” – explain what bioinformatics is and its essential role in life sciences, with scientific content and materials; • Target audience: general public, swissuniversity network, media • 2) Reaching the young generation – Be sure that the young generation, especially those interested in life sciences, is aware of bioinformatics and its educational, professional and scientific opportunities. • Target audience: BSc, MSc students in life sciences, school teachers and students (secondaire I and II) • 3) Reaching the women

  12. Outreach activities at SIB: where ? in 2016 Bringingbioinformatics to the classroom in the classroom (studentsfrom 15 to 20 years) in public laboratories (l’Eprouvette (UNIL), Scienscope (UNIGE), …) national eventssuch as the TecDays (SATW initiatives) highschoolteacher training Bringingbioinformatics to the layman local events (ExpandingYour Horizon, Open house, ALUMNI, Planète Santé)…) exhibition in Museum science fairs (Nuit de la Science, Mystères de l’UNIL) Outreach committees and networks - EU: GOBLET, ISMB, Scientix, - CH: SATW, Swiss Biolabs, SimplyScience, educaMINT, ScienceComm, ScienScope

  13. Outreach activities at SIB: what ? Some examples ChromosomeWalk: discover the world of DNA, genes, proteins, popular genetic variations and bioinformatics tools which are used to visualize genomic data (EN, FR, DE) (outdoor exhibition and www.chromosomewalk.ch). Drug Design: acquire a simple yet realistic picture of how bioinformatics is used to design a drug today(EN, FR) (www.drug-design-workshop.ch/). Understanding a genetic disease with the help of bioinformatics: discover a few of the major bioinformatics tools that are used to study insulin and genetic diseases (EN, FR). "La Pizza Métagénomique": understand how bioinformatics tools can be used to identify the different species (animal, plant, bacteria) present in a pizza, based on the DNA which is found in it(FR).

  14. Some additional ‘pedagogical’ material http://education.expasy.org/cgi-bin/philophylo/philophylo.cgi 3D-printed small molecules with their target protein ‘on scale’ printed DNA sequence of human chromosome 21 in book form: 1470 pages and 48’129’895 nucleotides long

  15. 3D-printed small molecules with their target protein ‘on scale’

  16. Docking and leap motion

  17. fun, but scientifically correct

  18. Have fun… give fun… and thanks for your help !

  19. Outreach activities at SIB: which Bioinformatics content ? Bioinformaticstools Blast (@UniProt) Genome browser Alignmenttool 3D structure, Docking, … Phylogeny.fr Algorithms Moleculecomparison(fingerprint-basedsimilarity)

  20. SwissTargetprediction fingerprint-basedsimilarity
