‧ Taipei American School Outreach:

On August 27 2013, We went to Taipei American School in Tienmu to give out our leaflets, inviting the high school students to join us. We thought that though high school students may not be as learned as graduate students and that it is a good chance to inspire them by doing iGEM. It was a happy occasion and some of them were inspired, so they finally decide to found an iGEM team for high school student next year through our assistance.

‧ Participation in the biomedical conference

We knew that it was not enough if we confined ourselves by sharing the ideas only to students, so we headed for the biomedical conference to make people notice our project. We visited almost every company participating in the conference, portraying our dreams about synthetic biology and asking for their suggestions. Luckily, lots of knowledgeable biomedical mechanist were fascinated by our ideas and promised us aid if we are in need.

‧ Interaction with other iGEM teams

Each Team's introduction
Collaboration with SJTU

After doing lots of experiments, we came in a plateau where everything seemed to pause. We then decided to attend the conference held by NCTU (August 4-7 2013) to exchange our thoughts and gain different viewpoints from other iGEM teams. We found out the bugs when we were giving out our presentation and made up for them afterwards. We will also participate in the warm-up competition held by NTU on 29th of September 2013.

‧ Online Model United Nations:

There are CCD problems around the world thus we attended the international debate conference to spread the concepts of CCD and also raised peoples’ awareness of this issue.
