Revision as of 19:58, 1 October 2016
Notebook
- February 29:
- Application for iGEM is sent
- A team of four master students is assembled under guidance of PI Wim
- March 3: Brainstorming for subjects starts
- March 24: PI's Marjan and Yves join the team
- April 22: Three subjects are chosen, and a presentation is prepared
- May 3: Our iGEM application is officially accepted
- May 4: Presentation on possible subjects for PI Wim
- May 6: Six PhD students and one advisor join our team
- May 17: First meeting
- May 31: We have our subject!
- The work gets divided into four work packages, and team members are assigned
- June 15: Fablab is contacted to be a partner for 3D printing our collector, they accepted
- June 29: Abstract is written and added to site
- July 7:
- July 18: Our stay in America has been booked
- July 19: Work package 'shape' decides to use Autodesk Fusion 360 to shape the water collector
- July 22: Prof Dan Fernandez (CSUMB), who makes fog catchers, is interested to work with us
- August 15: The info video is made and put on the website
- August 30: Our first batch of PLA is delivered
- September 1:
- The first batch of biotin is delivered: the work on the filament can begin
- Steven, our advisor, met up with the EPFL team in Lausanne, Switserland. They immediately bonded
- September 6: The first batch of our filament is made
- September 7: We collaborated with the iGEM Virginia team by filling in their survey
- September 13:
- September 14:
- We printed three different prototypes of our water collector
- September 15: Our crowdfunding page is live!
- September 18: We made a temperature and humidity sensor with a Raspberry Pi so we can observe the environment while testing our 3D shape
- September 20: The water collector without biotin was tested for its water collecting efficiency
- September 21: We met with Winnie from ReaGent
- September 23:
- September 24: We made an experimental set up with a humidifier and our temperature and humidity sensor (cf. 15/09) to test the water collection of our shape
- September 26: We tried our INP: it works!
- October 1: Developed a new 3D design, with an active surface area that is almost 20 times larger than the previous (third) version
- October 26: We're off to America!
