Drawing Contest

If I Were the Creator is a drawing contest we held this year. Considering the most unrestricted minds would be children’s, this contest is mainly for the primary school and kindergarten students. For a very long time, the Chinese students are said to be lack of imagination and creation. We attempt to break down this stereotype by giving them the freedom to design creatures that they like and providing them a platform to show their masterpieces.

We contacted primary schools and kindergartens in Shenzhen. The teachers and students showed great enthusiasm for this contest. We received 225 pieces of drawing within one month. Almost every teacher we contacted showed great interest in having this kind of cooperation next time.

Survey

We designed an online survey to evaluate stigma and discrimination to HIV/AIDS. We also put questions about gene treatment in it.

We collected 2211 answers

in about one month. And here are some important conclusions we draw from the statistics collected.

1. We should enhance the education of detailed basic knowledge besides the transmitting pathways for the primary school and middle school;
2. The knowledge about HIV transmitting should be most emphasized among the old
3. Most of the respondents express that they can accept the foreign gene introduced to their body and would like to try the gene therapy.
