Giant Jamboree/Family Services

FAMILY SERVICES

We are proud to introduce the following services for the 2016 Giant Jamboree:

Nursing and Lactation Room

A room will be available at the Hynes Convention Center during the 2016 Giant Jamboree for breastfeeding and pumping. The nursing room will be lockable and private, with comfortable seating, electrical power, and a small refrigerator. Check back later for more information about location and how to access this room.

For any questions, please contact: gender AT igem DOT org.

On-site Childcare

iGEM is pleased to offer on-site childcare at the 2016 Giant Jamboree. We have partnered with Care.com to provide childcare for children of any age at the Hynes Convention Center during the hours of 9 AM to 7 PM throughout the Jamboree.

iGEM may be able to subsidize part of the cost of childcare services depending on the number of sign-ups.

Childcare providers will all be fully trained in all aspects of child care including CPR and health and safety. Security of the children will be ensured, and parents/guardians can come and go with their children as often as they need during the day. Toys and a full agenda of age-appropriate activities will be provided.

If you would like to use these childcare services, please let us know by e-mailing hq AT igem DOT org before August 5th. Childcare will be provided if a minimum of 5 children is met.
