Practices
This year, we have completed a total of six human practices， trying to improve and evaluate our projects from multiple aspects.
Two
of them were held based on our project.
（1）Visit Shenyang Institute of Automation Chinese Academy of Sciences：
Industrial automation is one of its Main research direction，and it always has been developing new technology of environmental
pollution detection .So we decided to visit this institution for professional
advice. They showed us their current research and also studied our project. We
communicated together and evaluated the progressiveness of our project, and found
out the shortcomings.
（2）
Visit Guangzhou Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau
It is a governmental detection center. In the visit，we learned about the current detection methods，and discussed about the application prospect of our products. Moreover,
they called our attention to the importance of safety and recycling when using
microorganism in the environment.
The
other four are based on the social investigation and education.

analyzed the social impact and economic benefits of our project from the
perspective of social economy.
（2）
Education about
synthetic biology.
We
invited some high school students to visit our lab. We introduced them some
basic knowledge of synthetic biology，and led them to do a set of 3A assembly
experiment.

Meet up
We
participated in a meet up in which five teams were invited to communicate
projects with the other teams. We introduced our projects and got questions and
suggestions form the others. What’s more? we have talked about an interesting
topic that how to use web tools to optimize project designs，and we got many funny ideas.
We released a questionnaire about how much do the public know
about cadmium element. We can see from the result that many people have
realized the existence of cadmium in articles for daily use. But they don’t
have convenient methods to detect it in time. You can read a specific report on
the block of Social questionnaire.
