Bronze medal requirements:
• Register for iGEM and attend the Giant Jamboree
• Provide all required deliverables on time: team wiki, poster, presentation, project attribution, registry part pages, sample submissions, safety forms, and judging form. Meet all deliverables on the Requirements page (section 3).
• Create an attribution page on the team wiki that details who worked on each aspect of our 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.
• Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device related to our project and submit the part to the iGEM Registry ( (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines)), or document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year. See part BBa_K2027000

Silver medal requirements:
• Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected (see BBa_K2027001). Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of the Registry entry for that Part/Device. This working part must be different from the part you documented in Bronze medal criterion #4. Submit this part to the iGEM Parts Registry.
• Collaborate with another registered iGEM team in a significant way. Learn about our collaboration with Exeter here.
• Identify, investigate, and address human practices issues in the context of our project. iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. We refer to these activities as Human Practices in iGEM. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project (see the Human Practices Hub for more information). Learn about our work here and here.

Gold medal requirements:
• Expand upon silver medal human practices activity by integrating the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of our project
• Improve the function or characterization of an existing BioBrick Part of Device and enter it in the Registry. The part cannot be from our 2016 part number range
• Demonstrate functional proof of concept of our project; must consist of a BioBrick device, not a single BioBrick part
• Show our project working under real-world conditions by demonstrating that our functional proof of concept can work under simulated lab conditions
