This year we tried to explore many new ways to introduce synthetic biology and iGEM as well as our project. Therefore we focused on multimedia advertising and active interaction with other Asian groups.
ACMA2015.4.27-2015.6.14
Synthetic biology as a fairly young branch of biology is still foreign to the majority of Sichuan university, we started a contest named ACMA, short for Sichuan University-Architects Competition of Microorganism Application.
This contest aimed at introducing the area of synthetic biology to more students. Students were requested to hand in their own idea of a project. They were ranked by the innovation and feasibility of their idea, and the student who ranked first won the fund to realize his or her own project.

The school started introductory lectures on synthetic biology, and successfully invited students from fifteen schools to take part in the contest, including Electrical engineering, Medical school, Business school and so on.

We also built an information platform on Wechat, informing students with notices about the contest and some fun facts relating to biology.

Our talented teammates worked out a disco music and was adopted as our group theme song, check it out! (此处可以听队歌)
We made a music video of our theme song as a fun activity in our spare time.
Various Meet ups
Southwest Chinese Meet up in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China
2015.7.25
Nannan Xie, Shiji Zhao, Yuhao Wang and Hongbin Yu attended the meet up in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).
