Guangzhou Experimental High School, instructing high school students in literature reading and experimental design. Our team members
also assisted team GDSYZX and GZHS-United in synthetic biology experimental skills training on weekends.
In addition, our team provided technical guidance and reagents for the construction of GZHS-United's biological brick BBa_K2840000

Collaboration with SYSU-Software
Together with SYSU Software，we hold annual Biology Festival on our campus.
Our campus was opened to the public in Bio-festival, so it's a good chance for us to popularize synthetic biology knowledge. At the
same time, we handed out questionnaires concerning CAR-T therapy. More about the Annual Biology Festival activities can be found in
Public Engagement and Human Practice page.
Special thanks to Student Union of school of life sciences for their help in the Bio-festival.

5th CCIC in Shanghai Tech University
During the summer vacation, our team members, Chang Yanqi and Tan Tianhao and Xu Jiaxian, went to ShanghaiTech University to
participate in 5th CCIC(Conference of China iGEMer Community).
Xu Jiaxian, one of our team members, took the position as a ‘judge’ in CCIC. He gave comments and advices to other teams.
We gave a presentation and showed our poster during CCIC, then we received a feed back saying that more focus should be paid on the
safety of U24 and our modeling is very well. Really thank you, Team ShanghaiTech!

2018 iGEM Southern China Regional Meeting
In May, our team members, Tang Yuluan and Ruan Shaolin and Xu Feihong, went to Shenzhen for the Southern China Regional Meeting.
At that time, most of the teams haven’t made many progresses in experiment. Eight teams from southern China, not far from each
other, decided to have a meeting to exchange ideas, experience and funny things.
Xu Feihong, one of our team members, lost her mobile phone on the taxi. Friends from Shenzhen University connected the taxi driver
and posted the mobile phone to Guangzhou.
Really thank you, Team SZU-China!
