Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree.

Our team is registered for participate in this iGEM's Giant Jamboree this year, and this past summer was pretty "lit"!

Team wiki; Poster; Presentation

We’re excited for the presentation and poster sessions, and our wiki content is in order!

Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your project. This page must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services.

Please refer to our attribution page, where we list the contributions of those who have made Rice iGEM possible

Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). You may also document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year, adding that documentation to the part main page.

Please refer to our submitted parts to look at all BioBrick Parts we have submitted.

Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry. Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry.

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.

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the lab bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated, and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project. Your activity could center around education, public engagement, public policy issues, public perception, or other activities (see the human practices hub for more information and examples of previous teams' exemplary work).

We collaborated with IBB program and hosted bioethics on synthetic biology debate for girls from local high school. We help hosted Building with Biology at Houston Children's Museum. We reached out to local physicians for gaining insights to current colonoscopy methods and needs. We wrote posts (Humans of SynBio) on inspirations and passions of synthetic biologists from around the globe to inspire the public and align miscommunication between science and community

Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project.

Human practices tab, like talking to one of the doctors in specifics and how that’s affected our project

Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the Registry. Please see the Registry help page on how to document a contribution to an existing part. This part must NOT be from your 2016 part number range.
