- Convince the judges that something you created (art & design, hardware, software, etc.) performs its intended function. Provide thorough documentation of this validation on your team wiki.

Convince the judges you have thought carefully and creatively about whether your work is
responsible
and good for the world. Document on your team wiki how you have investigated these issues and
engaged
with your relevant communities, why you chose this approach, and what you have learned. Please note
that surveys will not fulfill this criteria unless you follow scientifically valid methods.
This year, as we are working on our project, some of our team members joined Bio-Safety Committee office of Sun Yat-Sen University to consult the possible bio-threats that might be caused by our software and the avoiding methods. Therefore we developed a series of approaches preventing malicious people from creating something bad. Check <a href="javascript:void(0)" goto="Wet-Lab">Safety</a> page for details.
