Members

 

CHAN, YEN-KUANG

So-Called Team Leader

 

 

I am a biology enthusiast, and I have a perfect score in the High School Entrance Exam. Although I was appointed the team leader, my job is actually doing roll calls.

CHENG, SHUI-FENG

 

 

I’m actually the youngest member of the team, and the only grade 9 student.

I love playing badminton, doing experiments, but I’m not good at expressing my own thoughts.

WANG, YU-CHEN

 

 

I’m glad I’m a member of the Mingdao iGEM team. It’s very fun when we do experiments and discuss projects. I hope we can also have fun in the iGEM Jamboree.

CHI, CHENG-FU

Beat Box Operator

 

 

My thoughts are always on the contrary with my teammates, and I like to provide inspiration to our team. However, I’m not good at experiments.

WANG, WEI-JUN

Head Lab Coordinator

 

 

Looking back a few months before

Occasionally filled in at the end in

Maybe just this once joined the opportunity

Only in hard deadlines

Abundance of experimental

Staying up until completely crazy

In order to give a final award it

TAN, CHIH-KANG

Musical Composer

 

 

As an eleventh grader it is very thrilling to be able to work in a lab and manipulate genes to create bacteria clones. I have always been very interested in science, especially in the field of biology. This project is quite diverse in categories of competition. We are competing not only in genetic engineering but also in posters making, webpage designing, presentations, and workshops; so we actually need all sorts of people to make up a successful team. Everyone participates and contributes to this team in their own ways. I am pretty good at conducting experiments and writing papers, I also helped record the theme song of our team, a rendition of Let it go from the movie Frozen. We named it Let it die and rewrote the lyrics. I had a lot of fun discussing the lyrics with our teacher, Phil, and recording it with Hsuan-Chen Lu.

TIEN, HAO-CHE

Speaker

 

 

As one of the presenters of the iGEM Mingdao team, I am elated to join the 2014 iGEM competition coming up this summer in Boston. This is a memorable event in which I have the opportunity to truly understand the amazing realm of molecular biology. I’m confident that by attending this world affair, I will be able to exchange various ideas with students and teachers from all across the globe. It is my honor and pleasure to participate, and I believe we will all enjoy a great time.

HUANG, YU-HAN

 

 

I love to go to the movies, play piano, and read sci-fi. I am a very outgoing person, so I love to meet new people. I’ve been to a lot of countries, but I still love France, which I haven’t been to yet.

Yang, Chieh-Chi

Head Animation Coordinator

 

 

I have always considered myself as a positive person, so I could withstand the pressure of doing experiments. I have always loved science related subjects, and I really wanted to improve my English skills.

CHENG, SHIU-KAI

Chess Master

 

 

Chess and biology enthusiast. Although I don’t have a good score, I still wanted to know more about biology.

CHENG, CHIA-HSIN

Princess

 

 

We would never be one of the Royal Family, but I am a princess temporally in our short film.

LI, YU-YU

Tsukkomi Role

 

 

I give weird suggestions to our teams. By the way, I also provide pizza delivery services to our team for lunch.

Jenny L Wu

 

 

 

When I attended iGEM, it was kind of miserable. iGEM was different from the other biological events that I had attended before. It was totally out of the context of the biology. I had to study the power point when the class was over, however it was a rarely opportunity for me to attach to the functioning of the real science- Using the professional equipment, doing the experiments and writing it into the report and lecture. Now I am a 11 grade, almost 12 grade, yet I had learnt what is proper attitude for science researcher in iGEM. iGEM gave us a chance to get a glimpse at the academic professionalism and dedication.

 

Random Fact: Now find I have gift of playing Chinese yoyo

WANG, CHANG-CHIN

 

 

 

Since I first learned the section about biotechnology, I am very interested in it. It seems to me that biotechnology can solve almost every problem in our life, from food problem to eternal life. I was interested in biotechnology, but I never thought of really doing it in high school until I joined the iGEM competition. I think iGEM is a great chance for high school students like me to learn and use biotechnology. In our team, I managed the poster design, did experiments, and participated in the production of other multimedia. I will also be a speaker at the Jamboree.

LIAO, ZIH-SHENG

Odor Test Coordinator

 

 

I once tried to use my index finger to operate a pipette. (Not suggested by lab safety protocols)

CHEN, YI-JING

Food Waste Coordinator

 

 

I hate photo taking, so here’s my pet.

CHENG, RU-FANG

 

 

I have a wide range of emotions; I would be very funny sometimes, but I could also be a serious person. I like to talk to different kinds of people. I love to do experiments (Who doesn’t? ).

HUANG, KAI-FENG

Speaker

 

 

I have a great enthusiasm on biology. It is a great opportunity for me to participate in the successful team. This team is not only for people who understand biology very well, but it also allowed anybody to show his or her talent. I am good at presenting so I am one of the speakers in our team. Speakers are important because we have to express the whole idea of our iGEM project to the judges, so it is my honor to be one. Lastly, I want to overcome this challenge and become more competitive.

LAN, HAO-WEI

Wiki Designer

 

 

I have always loved science, and although by strength is at computer science, I also enjoy doing biochemistry. It’s tedious to design the web without a big enough supporting team, but I feel very satisfied. At this point, we still have no idea if we can finish our wiki in time, but I’m working hard to get it up and working. We had so much great ideas but we don’t have the time to implement it this year.

By the way, MIT is my dream school, so I’m happy already, being that I could visit my dream school.

KO, CHI-PANG

Food Waste Preparer

 

 

I love doing fun and fresh things, and that’s why I’ve volunteered to prepare food waste samples, and I regretted doing so. (It smells)

CHIU, WAN-CHIEN

Graphics Designer

 

 

I love drawing robots and cute bacteria. It’s so much fun using the drawing board. I am also the assistant of the princess in our video, being that I carry her bags.

Angele L Wu

 

 

 

For a person who aimed to become a doctor or biologist, it is a very precious opportunity to attend IGEM program. I learned more than I expected in this program, and I also realize that biologist's job is more than studying microorganism. It is biologist's job to utilize what they knew to improve the environment. Therefore, I feel that the goal that I aimed to reach becomes more meaningful and this inspires me to work much more harder to know more about the mysterious part of biology. I am Angele L Wu and I am very thankful to everyone in the IGEM team that has put all his or her effort to help.
