<h3>Education for the public, to reach the world for the public</h3>
<p>At the beginning of the project, we surveyed the public about their views and interests in biology. We used Tencent questionnaire to distribute questionnaires to the people of all over the country,including social people, the college students, high school students and middle school students, and a total of 152 questionnaires were collected, the survey suggests that the students of middle school and high school were significantly more interested in biology than college students and social people. We collect the opinions of people and workers on biology in Pingtan, Putian, Nanping, Jincheng, and found that socialists refused to choose biology-related majors because the social background at that time could not provide good jobs and have poor career prospects, and the popularity of biology in China was terrible in the last century. However, for all students, some are willing to pursue biology-related majors or positions. Therefore, our education should start with the popularization of biology, and then move on to molecular biology and synthetic biology.</p>

<p>Pingtan is a beautiful island, mainly focused on tourism, farming and aquaculture. We travelled to Pingtan to carry out two days of social research. Below are the problems we gathered from our research, which we will try to improve in the future.</p>
</main><mainclass="mainn myshadow"style="

<h4>The research and study industry is dismal</h4>
<p>Pingtan has a large area of lawn for a large number of people to play and carry out activities. In recent years, due to the epidemic, people from all over the world have been travelling less. The situation has not only had an impact on tourism, but has also hindered the advancement of the research and learning industry. Previously, Pingtan Lvsheng Integrated Agriculture Company Limited received a large number of students to conduct research activities here every year, but in the last two years, the number of people participating in research has decreased and therefore the company's source of income has decreased significantly.</p>
<p>Children like to play and want to experience some new and strange things, so the holding of offline activities is effective and necessary for lower school students. We visited kindergartens in two provinces: Fujian Province and Shandong Province.</p>
<p>In class, we first explained the development process of synthetic biology and the typical cases of synthetic biology around us, and then we explained the topics of the FAFU team in 2022. The students loved the iGEM competition very much and asked us which universities in China had iGEM teams and how to participate in iGEM. The entire course lasted 1 hour and 32 minutes</p>
<p>After class, the FAFU team recommended iGEM to Ms. Zhang Caiqin, the head of the Department of Biology of Jincheng No.1 Middle School, hoping to drive more high school students to join the team of iGEM.</p>
<p>Feedback：Because of the resurgence of COVID-19, we have no way to get into more high school classrooms. Therefore, we intend to record all our course content into a video course and publish it on the video platform later, hoping that more students will learn about synthetic biology, learn synthetic biology and contribute more to synthetic biology.</p>

<h3>Micro-lessons</h3>
<p>It is not very smooth in offline education in secondary, so we changed into the form of recording lessons. The course content includes synthetic biology, molecular biology and other courses. We invited the iGEM team of Jilin University and Tsinghua University to record our course together. As of October 10, the course has been broadcast 10 times.</p>
<p>Feedback：Since the number of plays is only 10 times and the click rate is not very high, we contacted some of the viewers who left the message and asked them to help find our deficiencies. "Our course format is too old," they said,"and it can be paired with dynamic music and a lively lecture style, which can be accepted by more people." </p>
<p>September is the day of school for all freshmen. Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University is a very large and beautiful school, but the freshmen are not familiar with the campus and the future university life when they have just entered the university. In previous events and surveys, we found that the physical fitness of high school students and college students was significantly low, so YiNing Wang contacted the department of the College of Plant Protection and jointly organized a running garden tour on campus. Everyone needs to follow the map route and tick off a fixed place. We have prepared a number of topics related to molecular biology and synthetic biology to be placed in several specific locations. After answering the right questions, you can get rewards. Teams that reach the finish line in the shortest time will also receive rewards.</p>
<p>Good physical fitness can provide good conditions for learning. The sports event was held very successful and we hope to continue it in the following annual iGEM competitions</p>
<p>In September 2022, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University welcomed the new students of the class of 2022. We prepared a complete program as well as a PPT to help them understand synthetic biology and iGEM rules. We established the 2023 FAFU-iGEMer QQ group and attracted more than 200 students to join. We held an iGEM lecture on October 3 in Room 203, Chuang Xin Building, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University. Qinyu Chen shares the history of synthetic biology and its excellent synthetic biology applications. Yining Wang shared the composition of the iGEM team and the duties that each member should play. Sibo Jiao showcases the crucial role in Human Practice, Education, Art plays in iGEM, and design ideas. In addition, this lecture has invited our Partnership, BIT and JLU-China. They shared their iGEM projects for the past two years. We hope to share all the experience and harvest of the year with them to help them better understand synthetic biology and iGEM. Below is a group photo of us and a souvenir card given to each student.</p>

<h2>3D Lab</h2>
<p>In the years of the epidemic, biological testing is gradually coming into view. When we teach online, we find that many students want to learn, want to join the lab in the future, and want to become scientists in the future. However, they may not be able to enter the laboratory to visit and study. So we used the iPad Pro's LiDAR to scan parts of our lab in Blender. We upload 3D models to public platforms such as QQ and WeChat.</p>
