Team Interaction
On June 20, 2021, our school and Beijing No. 4 Middle School held the 2021iGEM North China District Meetup. Many outstanding high school and university iGEM teams including Tsinghua University, BUCT,BJ101ID, and RDFZ were invited to participate. We also participated in the online Meetup held by BJ101ID, played our promotion video and explained the project.
We started to interact with THIS after we met at the IGEM conference hosted by them. Throughout the conference, we chat and decide to collaborate on future experiments and Human practices.
In the later days of experimentation, We borrowed liquid nitrogen from the team of THIS’s lab for our experiment. Beyond that, throughout we also have regular meetings with their teams to see the opportunity of collaborating on human practice events.
Soon, we hosted an education and iGEM introducing session with the team THIS. We have been introducing what is iGEM competition to the new 9th grade students in Tsinghua Highschool. Beyond that, we also teach the students about basic synthetic biology knowledge like what are the promoter, terminator, gene, protein, genetic circuit and much more. Then, we also present our project of iGEM to spread out our experiences on doing the experiment and preparation done for this competition.
On October 5th, we held an offline meeting with the team of BHSF and the team of Jianhua. We discussed wiki writing, mathematical modeling and other issues. We shared our team’s wiki progress and the development of exchange activities. More discussion was conducted.
