Team:Hong Kong HKUST/human practice/start-up kit

Start-up Kit is the first comprehensive and handy tool that aims to help iGEM teams- particularly the new iGEMers, in initiating new human practice projects. Not only does it give iGEMers a quick guide to begin with, but it also provides them with a preliminary concept of human practice and analyzed data regarding the past projects, which will give teams a jumpstart to flexibly come up with their own novel human practice project. Comprising of a handbook, interview summary, report and database, the start-up kit contains all-rounded and valuable information about past human practice projects and advice from past judges. Information regarding human practice projects in the previous years has been compiled into a database, which has been translated into aa easily understood report for reference. Some of the past human practice judges were also interviewed to see the core value of human practice while the handbook gives iGEMers quick tips and tricks in starting up projects and an outline of the report and the interview.

Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the 'how' of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question "What is the meaning of my life?" The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may coincide with the achievement of ultimate reality, or a feeling of oneness, or even a feeling of sacredness.
