Silver Medal Criterion #3
Education: lecture for Freshman of ZJUT
To appeal more students to join the iGEM, we delivered a speech to the freshman of ZJUT, spreading the spirit of iGEM as well as the knowledge of synthetic biology. To enhance the effect, we designed questionnaire. There went a little episode, though the result of the survey showed that almost none of them had ever heard about iGEM, after the speech, some of them came to ask for joining the team immediately, which did show their great interests in the competition. As we envisioned, the atmosphere scene was pretty enthusiastic and we had a deep discussion about iGEM with them. The successfully ended activity also implied that, we students were eager to broaden our horizon, therefore we did appreciate for what iGEM provides us.

Open day at ZJUT
Since our school had cooperation with the primary school nearby, and to arise their interest in synthetic biology, we introduced iGEM to those pupils. They were surprised that synthetic biology could be used in such a wide range. And they brought out many imaginative ideas, such as whether they could create a kind of microorganism to put out a fire!
Later we showed them around our lab, and let them observe the various microbes under the microscope, and also we introduced the classic procedures of producing in the industry to them. The pupils expressed that they had a great time there and realized the magic of biology.
Conference of China iGEMer Community-The biggest party for iGEMers in China
We could never miss this opportunity! This year’s Conference of China iGEMer community which provided us participants with a stage where we could exchange information with other iGEMers sufficiently, was held by Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University from 26th August to 27th August. During the conference, every team signed up had the chance to introduce their projects to the public, and the audience were welcomed to question. Between the presentations, the chairman Dr. Hao-qian Zhang delivered panel sessions, with years of experience, he put forward valuable advice. There was also a poster exhibition held to help the participants express their ideas better.
We indeed learnd a lot, not only the knowledge presented by the participants but also the various methods they used in propaganda work. And we seized the opportunity to make acquaintance with them, maintained a good relationship afterward.
Interview with SJU
SJU is experienced in iGEM competition, to better improve our project, we paid a visit to Shanghai Jiaotong University. On arrival, teacher Wang and students there greeted us warmly, and spared no effort to share us with their years’ experience, including the problem we might meet in visa, accommodation and tickets booking and they also advised us how to establish a spirit to unite teammates together. Then we presented our projects in turn. Teacher Wang repeated several times that we should try our best, as we would reap just what we sow. In the end we set up a chat-group so that we can communicate more efficiently online. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to SJU’s constructive suggestions again, they did help us a lot.
