<font face="Arial" size="2">Human practice in the iGEM competition is about introducing synthetic biology to people through various ways.  This year, the HKU iGEM team wanted to arouse people’s interest towards this new field of science by organizing some talks for both high school students and undergraduates.  We also made an animated video about our project which is broadcasted on YouTube for public viewing.  Through these activities, we presented the basic information about iGEM and synthetic biology to the youth and the public.</font>

On Aug 10th, we gave a talk to 85 secondary school students from 12 schools who were the participants of a science video competition.  The presentation consisted of an introduction about iGEM, synthetic biology and our project E. capsi.  Since some of the audiences were from junior form, we used many cartoons and analogical examples to illustrate the basic concept such as BioBricks and synthetic biology.  Most students showed their interests in this project and some of them asked questions after the presentation.  We believe that giving presentation about iGEM to high school students, we, University students can inspire them to think deeply about how synthetic biology can change our lives.

In 2013, we, HKU iGEM team, pleased to have the honor to participate in Taiwan Mini Jamboree hosted by National Chiao Tong University (NCTU) in Taiwan. Seven teams from Taiwan and China also take part in it. During this jamboree, we share our project with other teams. They help us to revise it and offer their opinions and comments. Apart from exchanging ideas during presentations, we discuss problems and generate solutions to better our project during the break as well. While the project posters hanged on the wall, it is easier for us to review other teams work and, hence, more ideas burst out. Also, through this jamboree, we are able to establish cooperation with other teams to exchange our biobricks and characterize them. In the end of the jamboree, we decided that next mini jamboree will be hosted in Shang Hai by Shang Hai Chiao Tong University. All in all, we are glad that we can attend the jamboree since we learn a lot from our peers. They find out our lost part and give us advice. We did take some of their suggestion and be inspired by them. Thank you! NCTU! For hosting such a great event!

On Aug 24th, we had another seminar for newly admitted Biochemistry major undergraduate. We also prepared some flyers about our project so they can have deeper understanding about iGEM competition. The aim of the talk was to let students have better understanding about the applications and benefits of synthetic biology. At the same time, we wanted to arouse their interests in this relatively new scientific field and encourage them to join iGEM competition in the future. After the talk, the students were taken on a tour to visit the laboratory.
