Our Competence for Engagement Prize
Based on the definition of public engagement, which the myriad of ways in which the activity and benefits of higher education and research can be shared with the public, we team Tianjin iGEM 2016 conducted the mission of scattering the concepts of PET degradation, synthetic biology and iGEM competition to ordinary people.
Primary School
On the afternoon of September 23, 2016, we went to Baitangkou primary school to make a presentation, aiming to let more pupils learn about the conception of synthesis biology and arouse the consciousness of fighting against the plastic pollution and protecting our earth.
Middle School
On Sep.18th, we departed for Dagang No.1 Middle School. We gave a lecture to students about iGEM and our project this year. They thought that knowledge in books is traditional and out of date, iGEM could make them get in touch with the cutting-edge knowledge of synthetic biology. Finally we invited them to visit our laboratory and conduct some experiments.
University
On September 27th, five members of our team went to TUST and gave a speech about what is synthetic biology and how to set up a iGEM team. Since the term of iGEM competition is almost a band new term for them, they showed great interests and talked with us enthusiastically. They claimed that they would recruit members this semester and decided to register a team next year.
