| − | All iGEM teams must have two instructors to participate in iGEM. Throughout years of running the competition, we have found that in general teams with at least two instructors:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ul><li>Have a better iGEM experience</li>
| |
| − | <li>Learn more</li>
| |
| − | <li>Succeed even more than on their own</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |

| |
| − | <p>Teams with only one instructor often find that they don't get adequate support throughout the season. While iGEM is a student driven competition, instructors are important for providing guidance, having funding connections, dealing with university bureaucracy and regulations, and more. </p>

| |
| − | <p>Also, often an instructor goes away for a portion of the summer leaving the team without any instructor guidance for part of the season. </p>

| − | <p>Don't underestimate the value of your instructors!</p>
