Integrated Human Practices

Help High School IGEM Team

In order to better understand the problems faced by the high school iGEM team and to verify the feasibility of our high school iGEM guide (You can find it on our Human Practices - Silver page), we have maintained close contact with the two high school iGEM teams (GDSYZX & GZHS-United).

Conduct Basic Experimental Training Courses

Considering that the iGEM team in high school has no experimental basis, it is very difficult to participate in an academic competition such as iGEM. We conducted a two-day basic experimental skills training course for the 2018 high school iGEM team GDSYZX to help them better complete wet experiment tasks in the competition.

This course includes:

1.Explain basic synthetic biology concepts

2.Teaching basic molecular experiment skills

·Explain the principle of experiment

·Experimental operation guidance and practice

·Extracting red fluorescent protein particles

·Prepare agarose gel & verify

·Hot hit conversion

·Flat line

·Result observation and analysis

3.Project content and team building experience exchange

In addition to conducting basic experimental training, we closely followed the progress of the follow-up experiments of the two team’s projects(GDSYZX & GZHS-United),held a project meeting to exchange the progress of our project. We put forward some follow-up experimental suggestions for GZHS-United.

(We also have a similar course for Guangdong Country Garden School, which may form an iGEM team. Detailed information can be found on the Public Engagement & Education page)

Help High School Team Complete Interlab

We learned that the high school team GZHS-United encountered equipment and venue difficulties when completing the interlab task. We helped the high school team complete the interlab competition requirements.

These help include:

·Lend out our lab and some equipment (such as a microplate reader)

·Teached some related operations and methods of using the equipments

·Help GZHS-United analyze their data

Conduct Art Design Courses

We started a seven-day art design course to help GDSYZX & GZHS-United teams better complete their wiki, poster, banner, logo, team flag, team uniform and other aspects of design work. In this course, we explained the iGEM official requirements, and taught some basic use of design software, and led the two high school teams to make their prototypes of posters, logos, and wikis.

This course specifically includes:

·Introduce the requirements of the iGEM competition for poster, banner (...)

·Note on poster design, excellent poster appreciation in previous years

·Presentation ppt design considerations

·Considerations for wiki design, popular trend analysis

·Logo design considerations

·Basic photography training course

·Basic use of Photoshop

·Basic use of Illustrator

·Experimental result graph, data graph processing

Perhaps other teams also need information about this course, please feel free to contact us by email, we will be happy to help you.
