Introduction
Education, as the core driving force behind the progress and development of human society, not only transmits knowledge but also stimulates innovation.
We implemented the concepts of "age" and "region" in education, adopting a dual approach that combines both online and offline methods. We brought the concept of the "Nodule Factory" and the principles of synthetic biology to people of all ages, ranging from young children to the elderly from various areas, including Tibet, Beijing, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Guangxi, and more. At the same time, we introduced the concept of sustainable development to them.

Publicity
At the same time, in order to help more people get to know about synthetic biology, we also developed the “iGEM version of UNO” card game and “Spot-the-mistake” web game. So that people could acquire synthetic biology knowledge at the same time of entertainment. And at last, we received love and positive feedback from many people.
iGEM version of UNO
Keeping the original rules of UNO, we incorporate the elements of iGEM. We add several important components of synthetic biology expression circuits to enrich the rules. We also apply “iGEM version of UNO” to our volunteer teaching.

Wechat account
Our official Wechat account "ZhongNong iGEM" has always been a good medium for us to promote the project, collect feedback and communicate with other teams.
Since the establishment of CAU-China 2024, more than ten tweets have been published, including topics on project ideas, synthetic biology knowledge team communications, characteristic activities and so on.
