High School Meet Up

Introduction

Meet up offer us stage to accumulate more experience and make us improve ourselves.

Introductory

NCTU is a school full of talented students and had lots of outstanding graduators who really contribute the society. Through those numerous resources and great environment for experiment from NCTU, the meet up this time allow us to not only share our ideas and motivations with the other two teams but also receive lots of feedbacks to improve our project, clarify the experiment directions and even solitude our motivations for fighting for society.

Flow Chart

Reflection

Like us, people in NCTU and Mingdao iGEM team, we are all having the same idea to make taiwan a better place.

Asian Conference

Introduction

We are a bunch of teenagers who have profound dreams. When facing the recent food safety issues in Taiwan, we will never allow such problems from happening again. We will think of some biological engineering ways to ease all the unstableness.
