Revision as of 14:04, 26 September 2013
This summer, we hosted a summer camp for high school students to build their interests in synthetic biology. In addition, we held a conference for iGEMers cross-strait to learn from each other and be more prepared for the upcoming competition. With these efforts, we have passed on our enthusiasm of synthetic biology to our peers and raise their interests on the topic.

Conference
In this summer, we have an important breakthrough. We held an iGEM Conference from August 5th to 8th. We invited teams which came from Taiwan and China. The conference like a warm-up Asia Jamboree. Through the discussion and presentation, each team understands the defect of the projects. We also prepared a barbecue night and a welcome party, so the conference not only helps us to share experience, but also to promote our friendship.
Through the conference, all the iGEMers was inspired to try new approach and combine synthetic biology into other aspects. Furthermore, we also promote synthetic biology to public through the media, and strengthen the communication between different iGEM teams. Overall, we believed that this conference is a hugely success.

How we did it
We opened this conference to every one, so many students and teachers of NCTU can participate our discussion. Offering the dorm and food to participants, NCTU_Formosa has prepared this conference for four months. As a host of this conference, we thought we should do our best to receive participants. Therefore, we programed many details like picking iGEMers from China up, preparing food representing Taiwan and the last day’s BBQ. Hoping this conference could continue, we made some conclusion during the last discussion of conference. 標題怪怪的 內文有時間可以修一下

Biocamp
Schedule of biocamp
A summer biocamp was taking place in NCTU. In this camp, we introduced a lot of biological knowledge to students of senior high.

Day 2
In this camp, many IGEMers were the group of lesson. Therefore, they needed to prepare experiments that can introduce knowledge of molecular biology to senior high students. The lessons of this camp included Transformation, Mini-preparation and DNA electrophoresis. First, we explained the principle and the steps of experiment by Powerpoint clearly. We helped students to operate experiments and prevented them doing something wrong. Quickly, they were familiar with experimental technique by ours assistance. Everyone in these lesson learned well and was interesting to biological aspect.
Day 3
On day 3, they observed the result of last day. Then, we taught them how to analyze these result. For example, some plates grew well, but others were blank. Telling to them what happened, we let them know the correct method to do experiments.
Day 4
On the third day of the camp, we prepared a lecture about synthetic biology. First , we taught them the concept of biobrick. Then, they realized the history of this competition and what IGEMers do.
Mr. Lin and Mr. Chen were the introducers of this lecture, using easy way to let students understand basic knowledge of molecular biology and biochemistry.
In Q&A part of this lecture, students asked several questions of IGEM , and we thought we inspired their passion to IGEM. So as to let them know more, Mr. Lin introduced ours 2013 project. Although it was hard to them , they still listened it conscientiously.
Day 5
On day 5, we programmed the visit of genomics research center for students. First, the guide of center took us to see the mass spectrometer and introduced its principle. Second, we visited Protein X-ray Diffratometer laboratory. Third, the center allowed us to visit Ultra High Throughput Screening. Finally, they prepared a lecture of more about Researches in the Center. We gained a lot in this trip, thinking this national-level institution great.
Day 6
On the last day of biocamp, the group of lesson had prepared souvenirs for students participated in this camp. The souvenirs was tissue-plants implanted by ourselves. We offered a Q&A time to them and introduced this IGEM team again.
iGEM Chinese Guiding Book
For promoting synthetic biology our team made have made a synthetic biology guiding book featuring many experimental protocols and well-illustrated graphics which could help people know the purpose of experiment much easily. This year, new iGEM members in our team learned experimental technique by this guiding books. We believe passing down knowledge and following up works meet the purpose of the iGEM community. We hope Chinese-speaking iGEM teams can also be benefited by our guiding book. Feel free to download via the link down below.
Surveys
The images below are the survey consequences about synthetic biology. We offered these questions to the participants of our iGEM conference and asked them to give us responses. With the surveys, we can roughly understand how much they set foot in synthetic biology. Furthermore, we also offered the surveys to public in order to get more information of those who are not iGEMers.
