Preparation

Lianhua Middle School

Three members of our team Zhang, Jing and Wang went to LMS on June 3, 2014, where they did the first publicity to the junior highs.Approximately 50 students gathered to attended our lecture. They showed high interest in Biology especially Biochemistry and Synthetic Biology. We showed them some paintings we drew with E-coli expressing GFP, RFP and YFP. Some students complained ‘why this interesting competition doesn’t allow junior high students to attend.’Some of them think our project is useful to farm that our project can help the farmers in cold areas grow their plants better. While some others think our project can be used in some other fields like planet conquering.

Shenzhen Middle School

In Shenzhen Middle School, more students came to our lecture. Most of them are very clever that they can ask some further questions which refer to the principle of this competition. From their questions, I could tell that they did enjoy our lecture.While we are presenting our lecture, they asked some question about those topics. Their questions are not just about the functions but about the improvements or the principles. They believe they can do better. Some of them even wanted to build a better team to defeat us. Some students wanted to come to Shenzhen Middle School (Senior) to attended iGEM next year.
