Team:SCAU-China/Integrated
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).
- Considering that the iGEM teams in high school has little experimental basis, it is very difficult to participate in an academic competition such as iGEM. We offered 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 & agarose gel electrophoresis
·Heat-shock transform
·Flat line
·Result observation and analysis
3.Exchange experience of project and team building
In addition to conducting basic experimental training, we closely follow up the progress of the follow-up experiments of the two teams’ projects(GDSYZX & GZHS-United),held a project meeting to share the progress of our project. We put forward some follow-up suggestions for GZHS-United.
(We also offer a similar course for Guangdong Country Garden School, prompting an iGEM team. Detailed information are avaliable at Public Engagement & Education page)
We learned that the high school team GZHS-United encountered equipment and laboratory problems when completing the interlab task. Thus, we offer aid as much as we can to help them with these problems
These help include:
·Lending out our lab and some equipment to them(such as a microplate reader)
·Teached some related operations and methods of using the equipment
·Help GZHS-United with analyzing their data
- 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 taughtthem use the design software, and duideed 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 powerpoint design considerations
·Wiki design, 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 offer help.
