TOK EXHIBITION Object 1: The Great Firewall of China (Internet Censorship System)
- Theme: Knowledge and Technology
- Rationale: The Great Firewall of China represents a significant constraint on the pursuit of knowledge, illustrating how state-imposed internet censorship can limit access to information and restrict freedom of expression. This digital barrier affects not only what can be known or shared within China’s borders but also impacts global knowledge exchange. It raises critical questions about the balance between government control and the free flow of information, highlighting the challenges of navigating censorship in the pursuit of knowledge.

TOK EXHIBITION Object 2: Patent for CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing Technology
- Theme: Knowledge and Technology
- Rationale: The patent for CRISPR-Cas9, a groundbreaking gene-editing technology, exemplifies the constraints imposed by intellectual property laws on the dissemination and application of scientific knowledge. While patents protect innovations, they can also limit access to and use of new technologies, posing ethical and practical dilemmas in fields such as medicine and agriculture. This object invites discussion on how legal and economic factors can serve as constraints on the pursuit and sharing of knowledge, especially in rapidly advancing scientific domains.
Objects in the TOK exhibition serve as tangible manifestations of complex TOK concepts, allowing students to explore and demonstrate their understanding of knowledge in a concrete and relatable context. They act as catalysts for deep reflection, discussion, and analysis, bridging abstract theory with real-world examples and personal experiences. By strategically choosing objects that offer clear relevance and depth, students position themselves to deliver a compelling exhibition that fully addresses the criteria for a 10/10 score.
