1. Overview /////The last ten years have witnessed rapid development in synthetic biology – the new and fascinating subject in biological science. Its great development brings about profound changes to our lives. However, as we may realize, synthetic biology also raises social concerns regarding safety, security, ethical problems and so on. As undergraduate students participating in the iGEM competition, we should not only learn and enjoy from our research experience but also try to promote synthetic biology to the general public so that more people will have a better awareness of this new trend. 2.Synthetic Biology Workshop //////To promote better understanding of synthetic biology to the general public and arouse students' interest to integrate a broad variety of science discipline in their science study, we have organized a summer Synthetic Biology Workshop in July 19-23, 2010 at our university. 3. Lab Open Day ////////In order to let more young people have better understanding of synthetic biology and modern biological research, we opened our iGEM research lab to general public on Sep 18th, 2010. That day is also the annual Outreach Day of HKUST, on which more than one thousand high school students and their parents and teachers visited our university campus. Over 200 high school students participated in our lab tour and HKUST iGEMers presented our this year's project ideas. We also shared and discussed with the students about our wonderful experience joining this year's iGEM. 4.Sharing and Memories //////The last ten years have witnessed rapid development in synthetic biology – the new and fascinating subject in biological science.
