Visa Application Day
In early iGEM years, we ran Teachers' Workshops to bring together team instructors from both new and old teams. This was an opportunity to meet other instructors, exchange ideas, and learn about synthetic biology and iGEM in more detail. As iGEM grew, however, it became increasingly difficult to coordinate, especially as iGEM started coordinating regional Jamborees. This year, we are considering the possibility of holding a Teachers' Workshop, either in person at iGEM Headquarters or virtually. Please contact us and let us know if you are interested in such an event.
