Team:SMS Shenzhen/Public Engagement
1.WeChat Official Account
1) What’s WeChat official account?
WeChat is now the most popular app in China with 1.04 Billion monthly active WeChat users globally (Source: Tencent Biznext, 2018). We registered a WeChat official account: when we send messages, people who follow our accounts will see the update information in the subscription area.
We are the only team in China that use our WeChat official account to introduce our Synthetic Biology project in detail (Other teams always only introduce their projects briefly). Our articles are also the best in quality and quantity.
2) What can we do with subscription account?
We send our articles regularly. Articles include introductions to Synthetic Biology, iGEM Competition, our team, and our project.
2) 3) How does it relate to the public?
People can know more about our team and the scientific knowledge in our articles. It is easy to follow us on WeChat, just scanning a QR Code or searching for our team’s name. People can glance over our articles in their spare time and share our articles on the “moments,” a function in WeChat that would allow all of their friends to see our work. If people appreciate our work, they can click the "like" button or discuss on the discussion board under our article. We would reply and answer their questions dedicatedly in the discussion board.
