Last year, I participated in iGEM for the first time. I had a lot of fun and I was able to gather many experiences.
This time I am hoping to pass on the experiences to the new members so that they have a great time, too.
I am looking forward to this years' project and to the challenges waiting for us.

As I have heard many great things about iGEM since my very first semester there was no doubt I had to join the team myself. In the course of this year's project I have developed new skills beyond my expectations concerning not only synthetic biology but also scientific presenting and webdesign. Developing a joint research project frow scratch and working independently to this extent is a special and scarce opportunity amongst students for which I am really grateful. Additionally I am very much looking forward to changing experiences with and getting to know iGEM members from all around the world at the Giant Jamboree in October.

This year I would like to take the opportunity to collaborate in a big project myself after I heard so many positive things about iGem. I especially hope to gain practical experience in working in a laboratory and interdisciplinary collaboration. I'm also eager to finally being able to contribute to independent research which is not stubbornly driven by lecture notes.

My motivation to join the iGEM team is to learn how to plan and perform a project by my own or in a group with other students. I also hope to learn how to analyse problems in the lab work and find alternative solution approaches.
Furthermore I hope to find new friends and have a nice time with them besides the work in the lab.

I´m fascinated by the iGem-Team`s performances of the last years and thus I´m glad to learn from the more experienced team-members.
The learning effect is my biggest motivation. It´s amazing how big the learning progress can be, when you have to make concepts, search for solutions and work in the lab on your own.

This is my first time, that I am in the iGEM-Team. Last year I was fascinated by the ideas and their realizations of the ‚iGEM-Students’. Already back then I was sure, I wanted to participate this year.
Within the iGEM-project everybody has the opportunity to develop not only in terms of scientific practice but also by realizing ones creativity.

Working together in a group, having fun and achieving a mutual set goal is what fascinates me about the iGEM Project. And in addition to that, there are many new things to learn, especially laboratoric techniques which are another major point for joining the team. Overall I hope for much fun and new experiences during the project.2
