Medal Achievements
Giant Jamboree
iGEM Stockholm is very proud to have attended the Giant Jamboree in Boston, USA, in November 2016. It was an amazing and enriching experience for all of us and we had the opportunity to present our poster to many other science and engineering enthusiasts as well as give a presentation on our project.
Our hard work was rewarded - we met all the criteria listed below and received a gold medal. We were also nominated for awards given for 'Best Presentation' and 'Best Education and Public Engagement'!
iGEM has been a fascinating, eye-opening journey for our team and we'll always treasure the memories.

Convince the judges you have helped any registered iGEM team from high school, a different track, another university, or another institution in a significant way by, for example, mentoring a new team, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, modeling/simulating their system or helping validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem.[✔️]
Human Practices. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues (ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security etc), in the context of your project.[✔️]
Gold
Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating how you could have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project. [✔️]
Improve the function OR characterization of a previously existing BB Part (created by another team, or by your own team in a previous year of iGEM) and enter this information in the part’s page on the Registry [✔️]
