UESTC-China

  • Team set up

    On April 3,2014, team iGEM-China was built in order to participate the 2014 iGEM Jamboree. At the very first we only get eight members worked together, and now our team amplified. And we got three tutors who are the professors in our school to guide us in this competition. Also we got two advisors to help us in this running.

  • A lecture to the seventh middle school

    In order to disseminate the iGEM competition, we introduce the concept and racing type of iGEM to the students in the seventh middle school who were the best students in Sichuan province. During this lecture, we see the interests showed by the middle school students toward iGEM. And they also revealed that, it would be a luck to attend this international competition.

  • Knowledge quiz

    In order to popular iGEM in our country, we made a knowledge quiz to expand people’s horizon. The knowledge quiz is just a few questions which made to barricade peoplewho want to win the delicate presents we offered. However, the questions are not that difficult, so people all have the chance to get the gifts. Also, they can surf the internet for the right answer. All we do, is to make iGEM and our project more popular.

  • Communicate with SCU

    During the summer vacation, we communicated with the students from SCU. We exchanged our project to each other and made a long talk about what we had done during the last month. What’s more, we let them visit our laboratory where we did our project. At the end of the communication, we gathered to have a lunch, which made us more harmonious.

  • Visited by the schoolmaster

    During the summer vacation, besides communicating with the students in SCU, there is another activity which worth a notice, our principal came to our laboratory and gave us a speech, which totally stimulated us to work harder and excited. The principal told us do not be scared to have the new idea, ‘cause the study we received today is to make us to speak out a new idea no matter it is wizard or not.

  • Questionaire

    In order to popular iGEM in our country and do some research about our project, we made a questionnaire. We disseminated the questionnaire in many different places to make different range of people to participate this research, however, the students is still the most part of the engaged people.
    In the questionnaire, we got three part needing people to sign in. through these three parts’ questions, we can find the viewpoints people showed to iGEM and our project.

  • Products display

    In the beginning of this new semester, our school held a science and culture activity. We caught this opportunity to advertise iGEM and our ultimate products, the plants which can absorb formaldehyde. The leaders and many teachers in our school also participated this activity. We displayed the plants which already owned the several genes which worked in the absorption of formaldehyde, to the people who visited our project. And the people visited our plant all said they want to owe one if there is already market available.
