(29th-April)iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting

On April 29, we were invited to participate in the exchange meeting organized by the Shenzhen University, There were eight teams attending, including Sun Yat-sen University, South China Agricultural University, South China University of Technology and so on, total there was 68 people participating in the meeting. The meeting was divided into team project display session and free discussion session. Project display includes 10-minute presentation and 5-min Q&A. This first picture shows that our team leader introduced our project at the meeting, and we are all serious listening.

This meeting provides us with a lot of ideas about our project. And other iGEM groups were actively giving them advice on our project and letting us think about the direction of our project. It was a very meaningful meeting for us.

collaboration

iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting gave us an opportunity to form a close bond with the iGEM team of ShenZhen University. There on, we came to an agreement to form collaboration relationship with them this year. At the moment we intend to help with doing enzymatic test while they will help us with freeze-dry experiment.

(22th-June)Entrepreneurship Competition

This year, as part of our project promotion and potential landing of the products, we participated into a number of entrepreneurship competitions. To our surprise, we have been doing pretty well so far! We came first at the university-division of the Collegiate Student Entrepreneurship Competition, organized by ShenZhen city council. We won a 50,000 RMB money prize, which helps us a lot with regards to our iGEM funding.

(11th-July)Project lication Scenario
In private garden

Based on our business plan, our products target to the high-end users, such as people with private gardens or balconies and interesting in growing vegetables and fruits. In early July, we went to a private garden for soil testing and project promotion. We are very honor to be mentored by a judge from the Collegiate Student Entrepreneurship Competition. He gave us lots of helpful information about the economic value of our business plan as well as social values.

(26th-July)Entrepreneurship Competition

We participated in the Longgang District Entrepreneurship Competition, which was organized by a district council. We came to second into the final, and was honored to be interviewed by local television channel.

(29th-July)Project lication Scenario
In orchard

In late July, we went to a dragon fruit orchard for second round of human practices. As shown in the picture, there were large amount of discarded pesticide packaging scattered around the orchid, including fungicide carbendazim that our project works on. This indicates that the soil of the orchard may be seriously polluted by pesticides. We also conducted a survey with the owner about the types of pesticides and the amount they use. The owner suggested that they were aware of the danger and toxicity of chemical pesticides, and gradually switching to the bio-grade pesticides. we hope that the emergence of our products as well as our persistent propaganda, people can fully comprehend the harmfulness of the chemical pesticides on the soil, underground water, as well as on the fruits, vegetables, and eventually into our body.
