Demonstrate
Having successfully shown that our genetic constructs worked as expected under lab conditions, we had the final challenge of integrating them into the breadboard hardware that we had designed to illustrate a simulated real-world use-case scenario.
We believe that this demonstrates the culmination of our entire project. We have successfully designed and combined physical hardware (the breadboard, connectors and microfluidic fuel cell) and novel genetic constructs (the 'lightbulb' and 'battery' analogues) in a simulated real world environment, satisfying the criteria for Gold Medal Achievement #4.
