2nd Annual Mid-Atlantic Mini-Jamboree

Background

Last year, UMaryland iGEM founded the first Mid-Atlantic Meet-up and hosted four other teams: UVA, William and Mary, Duke, and Rock Ridge High School. Each team gave a 25 minute presentation of their project followed by a Q&A with the audience. We were also fortunate enough to have Special Agent Edward You of the FBI and UMD Professor Raymond St. Leger as guest speakers.

This year, we plan to host many more teams and have a more ambitious agenda planned. We cannot wait to welcome those who attend and show them an amazing UMD experience. The location of the meet-up will be posted closer to the date. If you are a team interested in attending, please do not hesitate to contact us through email or Facebook.
