OPEN DAY















We conducted the visiting activity in our Synthetic Biology Lab as part of the “Open Day of Biox ” program during the Week of Science of USTC(from 19th May to 20th May), which is an annual event aimed at promoting the spread of science. It is an unusual chance for the public to get to know what science really is. During these days many labs in our school will be accessible for people outside our campus and volunteers majoring in certain fields will be there Sequence_of_toggle_switchas instructors. Our institute served moe than 6000 people in two days this year.

Who come to Open Day?

This "Week of Science" program is annually held in USTC under the instruction of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China. With no limitations to our campus and part of our labs, people from outside our school can enjoy their journey of science freely. Thus a great range of people, from kids to the elderly are involved in our program. Especially, students from primary schools and high schools in Anhui province of China were well organized by their teachers. Many of them traveled a lot to get to our campus.

What do we do?

After applying to the School of Life Sciences, we are part of the Week of Science of USTC activity. Since our lab is open to the public, we have the chance to reach people from different backgrounds and ages. That is, we gain a wonderful opportunity to make synthetic biology known by more people. Various of sections are designed for people from different ages to better understand what synthetic biology is. The whole process consists of videos&explanations, forums&lectures, panels&presentations, introductions of equipments and games&interactions.

Movies about the central dogma and genetic engineering are played on a continuous loop during the opening time, providing the visitors a vivid image of synthetic biology. Lectures concerning on biobricks and iGEM are given when adults and students from high schools enter, they are considered to be able to further understand the details of synthetic biology. Panels are placed aside the passage way, and when the visitors come by, USTC iGEMers will be there instructing. The characters and usages of equipments such as the PCR instrument, the centrifuge, the micropette plus and the Gel Image System which are available in our lab are explained by our team members. Taken the safety of the visitors into consideration, we keep warning them to stay away from our equipments. For kids who may have difficulty in understanding the lecture and movies, we set up a game zone where building blocks and paper DNA models are used to make it easier to understand the basic idea of synthetic biology.

During the Week of Science our team have served enormous number of people outside our campus. We believe that people who ever come to our lab will be impressed by the magic of synthetic biology. Visitors can get a picture of the basic principles of synthetic biology and pick up some tips for the equipments. We feel happy to find that people are curious about our lab and strongly interested when we are introducing. It is axiomatic that our work is of great significance to the outreach of Synthetic Biology. And we enjoy our volunteering very much!
