February

February 29:
- Application for iGEM is sent
- A team of four master students is assembled under guidance of PI Wim

March

March 03: Brainstorming for subjects starts
March 24: PI's Marjan and Yves join the team

April

April 22: Three subjects are chosen, and a presentation is prepared

May

May 03: Our iGEM application is officially accepted
May 04: Presentation on possible subjects for PI Wim
May 06: 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

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

July 07:
- Our Facebook and Twitter page are live
- A first draft of a 'sponsor letter' is made
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

August 15: The info video is made and put on the website
August 30: Our first batch of PLA is delivered

September

September 01:
- 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 06: The first batch of our filament is made
September 07: We collaborated with the iGEM Virginia team by filling in their survey
September 13:
- We all got to know the EPFL team better, as they conducted a SKype interview with us
- Dewpal has been chosen as name
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:
- We met with Deepak from 3dee, who gave us some amazing advice on how to enhance our 3D shape
- Our filament group went to Timelab to make a batch of filament
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!
September 29: A logo has been designed

October

October 01: Developed a new 3D design, with an active surface area that is almost 20 times larger than the previous (third) version
October 07: 3Ders did a press article on our project
October 26: We're off to America!
