1. Introduction
The dissemination and public outreach of synthetic biology are very important for us. We invited Wu Jie, a professional with rich experience in information communication and social organizations, to provide us with guidance. She is a social responsibility manager of family enterprises in Hong Kong.
After in-depth and creative discussion, our team listed different topics (mainly focusing on synthetic biology) and decided to carry out different forms of communication practice according to different age groups.

Communication is also an art.
In order to promote synthetic biology more effectively, we make full use of existing resources and create new resources to attract more people at the same time. We also came up with educational and interesting activities, such as handmade DNA, fluorescent protein DIY, puzzles, poker games and so on.

2. Fire Theme
2.1 Communication Practice for Government Agencies
Communicate With Firefighters
In July, our team actively communicated with Xili Fire Squadron and found their learning needs. According to the statistics of the local fire department, more than 50% of firefighters do not know what hazardous chemicals are, which poses a potential threat to their safety when extinguishing fire. Therefore, we have promoted synthetic biology and chemistry for firefighters and listed which chemicals can not be poured with water when on fire.

Firefighters support our practice very much and suggest that we carry out relevant educational practices in urban villages. There are five main reasons:
1. Lack of supervision over children
2. Low education level of parents
3. Crowded housing
4. Low socio-economic status
5. Many flammable factors (electric vehicles, stacked debris, pulling wires without permission, etc.)

2.2 Communication Practice for the General Public
Entering the Community
On July 30th, we invited firefighters to conduct a fire drill in the community square, while our team members publicized burn knowledge on the sidelines .
●Address
Xili Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China
●Pattern
Set up a fire drill tent to simulate smoke escape

Communication Practice for the Elderly and the General Public
Into the Community Again
With the rapid development of technology and society, the older generation is gradually falling behind. They don't even know what synthetic biology is - a branch of science that just emerged in the 21st century. Our team members spread knowledge about burns and promote synthetic biology in the community. To our surprise, many children and parents also actively participated when they passed by. We also encourage the younger generation to interact with the elderly and leave the contact information of the team for follow-up consultation.
●Community
Xili Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province
Buji Community, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province

5.1 Communication Practice for High School Students
Synthetic Biology Enters the Campus
Students have strong curiosity and high enthusiasm in high school, which is an important period for us to cultivate their interest in synthetic biology. However, they rarely have the opportunity to study synthetic biology in the classroom. Our team decided to give a lecture on synthetic biology at Shenzhen Guangming District High School.

5.2 Communication Practice for College Students
Summer Camp
Our team investigated the situation of summer students and organized summer camp activities for some of them.

●Address

A laboratory in Shenzhen Polytechnic

5.3.1 Synthesize BC Film Together
With the rapid development of Internet technology, electronic games have become a popular form of entertainment. With reference to the game mode of 2048 MINI Game, SZPT-CHINA created a new "Synthesize BC Film Together" on August 8th, which is closely related to synthetic biology, and applied the red light sensor module in the project design.

We promote games on campus and reach more people through the Internet. This is really game-based learning. Most players are willing to learn synthetic biology that is closely related to the game, not only because they want to win, but also because they are attracted by the novelty and fun of the game.

5.3.2 A Live Broadcast Course of Synthetic Biology
The new crown epidemic has triggered a wave of live streaming online, and many websites have launched online courses. In order to maximize the number of people studying synthetic biology, our team members decided to start a dream journey of synthetic biology. We hold a live broadcast course of synthetic biology at Bilibili, and promote our team projects to popularize burn knowledge.

6.1 Synthetic Biology Behind Firefighting
Interest in the content of the learned knowledge may become a motivation for learning.
--Zankov

We quickly started the journey of children into the world of synthetic biology, using attractive resources such as animation videos, puzzles and key chains.
●Details
We held three courses at Yangqi Culture and Art Training Institution:
1.Fire safety (we invite firefighters to this class)
2.Kill the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Together
3.Enter the world of synthetic biology
