On April 29,we came to Chengdu No.7 senior high school,which is the best high school in Chengdu,for a lecture about the iGEM and synthetic biology.Before the lecture,we prepared eye-catching posters and organized slide for the sake of making it easier to understand.

First of all,as the representative of our team,Wu Yaoming gave a brief introduction about iGEM to the high school students,especially about the software track.Then,Chenxin explained some concepts of synthetic biology which aroused their high motivation to try it.Finally,several teammates went to the stage to describe the general destination of our software.The picture shows below is about making an introduction about iGEM by Wu.

Gratifyingly,during the lecture,the high school students focused attention to the task we were dedicated in and showed great enthusiasm about the competation.The objective of human practice is to make more people familiar with synthetic biology,now we were out of the first step.

After the lecture,we were surrounded by the students,well,also by their questions.Our earnest teammates explained them in detail one by one. Our uniform called ‘facebook’ is inspired by the Face off in Sichuan Opera.It conveyed our wishes:We wish the iGEM will be more far-reaching in not only UESTC but also high schools in Chengdu.We wore it while the students wore their school uniforms.And they will be the important scientific and technological manpower in the future!

Before our leaving,we took photos with the high school students.This was a wonderful and meaningful lecture.Just like what the banner says, we wish the synthetic biology to be a part of our life!So,join us!

On July 25th 2014, we communicated with the SCU-China iGEM team and the UESTC-China iGEM team in our school. We discussed some issues we encountered in the preparation progress and drew on each other’s experience.

After that,we visited the laboratory where the UESTC-China worked in summer and we knew some knowledge about biological experiment which inspired us a lot in the software test we were going to work on.

After the short but meaningful communication,we knew more about each other and we also found our shortcomings form comparison.

See you in Boston!

One day, a group of unknown bacteria invaded the tribe of white blood cells, white blood cells have fought off waves of enemies, but it seems that the war will still last...

There are four kinds of bacteria, and each kind of bacteria will cause different damage. Would you like to help white blood cells resisting the bacteria and winning the victory of the battle? Please scan the QR code below with your android phone to download ‘Bacteria War’, an interesting game developed by UESTC-Software,based on android platform which you will easily control it by accelerometer.

When a player open the game, he’ll see a brief introduction of iGEM in the home page.That’s why we developed the game. We’d like to let more people know about iGEM and synthetic biology.

On October 15th,in order to promote our software and Bacteria War,we organized ‘Open Day’.

This activity consisits of two parts.One is opening our training base to the whole school.We showed visitors the function of CRISPR-X and how to use it. Then the visitors played ‘Bacteria War’ and they were filled with excitement to compare the score with others.

Another part is going to student dormitories to made a brief introduction of CRISPR and iGEM,and for most students, the CRISPR is a strange field.They also played ‘Bacteria War’and appreciated our software and game very much.Before our leaving,they congratulated us beforehand on our success.

The response to this activity was tremendous. We were glad to find that many students knew about iGEM.To extend the influence of iGEM and synthetic biology,we are always in action.
