Overview
For this part, we thoroughly considered the application of our project in the actual situation, and discussed these issues with our teachers and experts with different professional expertise in biological companies. Here are our conclusions.

Outreach
One of the best ways to increase scientific awareness is communication by which people who do not have theoretical knowledge will well understand complex research.
Effective communication is especially important in the field of synthetic biology. Because the idea of altering DNA sounds scary to a lot of people. To explain our case clearly, our team designed a game to let people understand and accept our projects when playing the game. |
In the game, we simulate the processes of receiving information, interpreting the information, stealing the information and deciphering the information. The players can realize the strong confidentiality of our system and the necessity of its existence. |
Additionally, in the game we also designed a section to emphasize the biological origin of our system, in which we used simple animations to explain details of the biological principles of our case to help people understand our project. |

Our project is about the storage, encryption and transportation of information, so we decided to interview relevant experts and potential users for their advice to optimize our project.
National Institutions: Understand the laws and regulations that current information storage encryption systems need to comply with and the challenges that the current information storage encryption systems are facing? |
Society: What are the people's views on current information encryption systems and our projects? |
National Institutions
The National Secrecy Bureau of Heilongjiang Province in China
We got in touch with the National Secrecy Bureau of Heilongjiang Province in China to understand the bottlenecks and challenges encountered by today's information storage encryption systems to optimize our project. |
