Preface: Cause and Present Situation

At the same time, we believe that it is essential to educate the surrounding population about synthetic biology. As a rising star in modern times, synthetic biology has an immediate effect on the improvement of human life. Unfortunately, of the 497 respondents to the question "Do you know anything about synthetic biology?" 64.7% said they did not know or had no knowledge of the materials and operation methods of synthetic biology. As a team that has applied synthetic biology in our project, we must play a leading role in publicity and education, so that more people can learn about the details and advantages of synthetic biology through our project.

Process: Education and Advocacy

Education and publicity go hand in hand. In order to make synthetic biology reflected in people's lives, and let people know more about this new discipline, we adopted posters, three folding, keynote speech, keynote speech, social media, the newspaper carried on the education propaganda to the public, and in the last played an important role and profound effect.

Aspect 1: Propaganda Poster

We have included a brief introduction to synthetic biology in the poster.

We put the posters on the bulletin board of the school so that everyone can see our educational propaganda.

Aspect 2: Three-fold Propaganda

Three-fold propaganda is also a common way for the public to obtain information and understand information. So in addition to the poster, we also designed three leaflets for our readers to read. The three folds are placed on the publicity shelf in the reading corner so that everyone can take them and read them.

Our introduction to synthetic biology has been read by many people, many of them students and teachers.

The team members are responsible for giving them a deeper understanding of the importance of synthetic biology in modern society.

Aspect 3: Specialist Lecture

In addition to publicity in the form of articles, we also gave specialist lectures on synthetic biology in a small scope. The crowd in our hands is mostly teachers and students of our school. We made a comparison between synthetic biology and traditional biology and listed the application examples of synthetic biology in the current development of science and technology so that we can realize the great influence of synthetic biology on our life and the great development prospect in the future.

After the lecture, some students showed great interest in synthetic biology. This presentation not only gives high school students ideas about the most advanced parts of life sciences but also provides information about possible future career options for students who are not quite sure what to do in the future. We believe that lectures like this will continue to foster more talents in the field of synthetic biology in the future!

Aspect 4: Social Media

In the popular social media software in our country, we have made the introduction and publicity videos of "What is synthetic biology" into our featured courses, so that people can learn about various kinds of knowledge of science popularization and synthetic biology through an online network, and the response is very good. We have become proficient in using we-media and new media to promote our projects. For example, we have official accounts on Tiktok, Bilibili, and other apps.

Epilogue: Benefited Society

Through our education and promotion of synthetic biology, the general public has become aware of this emerging field and generated a great deal of interest and excitement in synthetic biology.
