Helping out other teams

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much"

Helen Keller

Information from iGEM

Sharing and collaboration are core values of iGEM. We encourage you to reach out and work with other teams on difficult problems that you can more easily solve together.

Which other teams can we work with?

You can work with any other team in the competition, including software, hardware, high school and other tracks. You can also work with non-iGEM research groups, but they do not count towards the iGEM team collaboration silver medal criterion.

In order to meet the silver medal criteria on helping another team, you must complete this page and detail the nature of your collaboration with another iGEM team.

Here are some suggestions for projects you could work on with other teams:

• Improve the function of another team's BioBrick Part or Device
• Characterize another team's part
• Debug a construct
• Model or simulating another team's system
• Test another team's software
• Help build and test another team's hardware project
• Mentor a high-school team

BioBrick Workshop - CosmoCrops & SDU-iGEM

The DTU BioBuilders team 2016 hosted a BioBrick workshop during the spring (May 6th - May 8th) for the other Danish iGEM teams; SDU-iGEM & CosmoCrops (check out their collaboration site - link).

The scope of the workshop was to introduce all three teams to the BioBrick standard, get a feel of working with it in the laboratory and get to know the other Danish iGEM teams. During the weekend we had planned different lectures that all contributed to a better understanding of what is a BioBrick and general getting to know iGEM.

We had our supervisor, Christopher Workman give a judging perspective on the iGEM competition and we discussed the gold medal requirements. Alumni Pernille Neve Myers and Viktor Hesselberg-Thomsen from DTU BioBuilders 2015 also held a lecture about BioBricks and 3A assembly along with exciting exercises in the laboratory. The tutorial also had another aspect, namely the design and development of the wiki. Here, we had this years SDU team give us a presentation of general advices for a good wiki and alumni Mads Anderson introduce the “Wiki-wizard”.

Beside having an educational weekend, we also had a lot of fun and got to know the other iGEM teams in Denmark!

The weekend was a great success and gave the Danish teams a great foundation for collaboration and fun during other meetups and during our projects. For more information, please see the below sections.
