Workshop Description

On 4th of July we held a workshop called "A day as a scientist in CUHK" for F4-6 students from various Hong Kong secondary schools. This event aims to benefit high school students by providing them a platform to learn more about synthetic biology and to have a taste of what it’s like to work in a lab at University. Additionally, students also got a chance to meet peers who had the same passion for science from other local schools.

Workshop Activities:

1. Introduction and Ice-breaking

- Various ice-breaking games were played in order to let them get to know each other. We all had a very entertaining time.

2. First Lab Session

- Basic knowledge of lab-wares and lab safety was taught by our iGEM-ers. Students learnt about accurate measurement by using pipettes and experienced making their own agarose gel!

3. Lunch Time and University Tour

- During lunch hour, students toured around our big campus and enjoyed delicious food provided by various canteens.

4. Second Lab Session

- After learning basic lab techniques, students started doing more challenging lab-work such as dye loading and performing gel electrophoresis. Students found them tricky but fun!






5. Mini Talks

- After the lab sessions, it's time for learning more about synthetic biology! We also introduced them our project which they found interesting and meaningful.

6. Group Photo Time

- It was such a memorable day with so much to experience as we gathered here in CUHK, bounded by our common passion for synthetic biology. Organizing a full day workshop isn't an easy task, but we were so full of energy and enthusiasm that every participant had a great time and found this interactive workshop fun and fruitful!
