Medal Explanation Criteria for Standard Tracks Progress
Bronze All Criteria must be met
1 Register and attend Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree.

  1. Registration is already open.

  2. Having a great summer.

  3. Flights and hotels are booked.
2 Deliverables Meet all deliverables on the Requirements page (section 3).

  1. Poster

  2. Wiki

  3. Presentation

  4. Project Attribution

  5. Registry Part Submission

  6. Sample submission

  7. Safety forms -3/4 submitted

  8. Judging forms
3 Attribution Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your 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. Ollie - in progress
4 Part / Contribution Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). You may also document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year, adding that documentation to the part main page. rpoH RBS can be included into the registry - not done yet.
Silver All Criteria must be met
1 Validated Part / Validated Contribution Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry. Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry. This working part must be different from the part documented in bronze medal criterion #4.  Conduct experiments with heat and current when the light bulb construct arrives.
2 Collaboration Convince the judges you have helped any registered iGEM team from high school, a different track, another university, or another institution in a significant way by, for example, mentoring a new team, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, modeling/simulating their system or helping validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem.

Possible collaborations with Edinburgh, Macquarie or Evry (production of 3D plastic)

Leicester needs help with Wiki design.

Edinburgh suggested collaboration between them, us and Leiden.
3 Human Practices iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the lab bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated, and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project. Your activity could center around education, public engagement, public policy issues, public perception, or other activities (see the human practices hub for more information and examples of previous teams' exemplary work).

Schools Taster (16 and 17 year olds):

Wednesday 20th July 2-4pm

Thursday 21st July 11am-1pm Location: RIDLEY 2 Room 1.55
Gold At least two (2) criteria must be met
1 Integrated Human Practices Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project.

  1. Improving breadboard design based on school taster feedback.

  2. Changing GFP to luminescent component.
2 Improve a previous part or project Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the Registry. Please see the Registry help page on how to document a contribution to an existing part. This part must NOT be from your 2016 part number range.

  1. htpG Promoter has been improved i.e. improve a part.

  2. Maybe we can also change the sigma factor.
3 Proof of concept Demonstrate a functional proof of concept of your project. Your proof of concept must consist of a BioBrick device; a single BioBrick part cannot constitute a proof of concept.(biological materials may not be taken outside the lab).  
4 Demonstrate your work Show your project working under real-world conditions. To achieve this criterion, you should demonstrate your whole system, or a functional proof of concept working under simulated conditions in the lab (biological materials may not be taken outside the lab).  Make a short movie demonstrating how our breadboard works and take it to the Jamboree.
