Our collaborations were mainly settled in two events - a dry-to-dry conference with team "Pepsick" about the experiences on fundraising and devices of presenting and education, and an inspiring problem-solving meeting held together by our team and team "SugarFox" about the usages of biosynthesis and the setbacks our teams have encountered.
The lunch seminar with Pepick was our first collaboration meeting, we were quite nervous before we met team Pepsick, but the final result was that we dispelled such concerns.

The naming method of the Pepsick team is quite similar to ours. It is also a fusion of Latin roots of elements in the subject, highlighting the themes of "antibacterial", "fish", "clean", "vitality" and so on. After the meeting, both of us warmly exchanged details about the planning of the dry team events. Members of the team Pepsick introduced us to the best-selling peripheral products and the strategy of sales and fundraising, and gave us some tips on official account tweeting; In return, we gave them some suggestions about shooting promotional videos to make them more attractive and educational. We also shared with them some ideas on how to make their education section more appealing and convincing with the use of rhetoric and devices. Both of our teams are inspired by the conversations, and we both helped each other to spread their official accounts. We also had a clear outline for our subsequent arrangements about contributing to the patient communities.
We also had an exchange meeting offline with the Sugar Fox team and it was an enjoyable takeout-lunch seminar.

Their team name is very attractive, coming from the goal they are achieving and the ingredients of their experimental treatment. Our team members and their team members shared the experience of both sides, such as how to write a business plan, the implementation of the product, and etc. Although our experimental part is quite different from theirs, we shared the setbacks that happened in our experiments and proposed some alternative effective solutions, which worked. We also discussed the different applications of biosynthesis, presenting our usages, which broadened our understanding of genetic engineering. We also found that as high school students, we have a lot of common topics and hobbies, and the whole process was very delightful. The team members of the two sides have become friends and had the idea of continuing in-depth collaborations in the future.
