Team Composition

iGEM teams are very flexible! Two or more schools can get together to form a single team. This allows a team to combine different backgrounds and talents to enrich the overall project. There is no limit on the number of students in an iGEM team. However we recommend creating a team of around 10 -15 people with different backgrounds who can enrich the team. There is no age restriction for participating in iGEM. However, be aware of the requirements for the undergraduate and overgraduate sections. You need at least two instructors to be part of your team, and one of them must be a faculty member. For high school teams, one of your instructors must be a high school teacher.
