Team:HZAU-China/Outreach

Collaboration is most beautiful part in iGEM competition, you can make many new friends, and this year we really love collaborating with other iGEM teams, in fact we stay very closely to the iGEM teams in Wuhan. Also we have a nice relationship with iGEM teams in other country.

Meetup is a very interesting part of the game this year. It let us have a opportunity talking deeply with other iGEM teams, and this year we held The Central China iGEMers' Consortium during August 23rd -24rd we made a great success on it. We also have attended the Meetup held by NCTU Formosa.share our project idea to others.

We choose fundamental research as our topic this year, it‘s a little bit abstract. So we trying to understand it in another way. We have discussed it a lot.

We held a activity called Future scientists aimed at kids aged 10-15 years old, we have taught them what is DNA, what is iGEM, even how to extract the DNA from plant. Also we have launched weekly assembly called iGEM Talkx, it's open to every single student and we talk everything about biology!

Safety is very important in iGEM , and we do care about it . Also we care about the safety culture in lab we launched a survey about the culture of lab and a lecture about emergency treatments in lab, that’s really useful!

We have a very diversity social platform(twitter, youtube) to convery our ideas, we also made many videos and pictures to make it lively.
