Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating demonstrate an innovative human practices activity that relates to your project.
Convince the judges you have helped any registered iGEM team from another university.
Improve the function OR characterization of an previously existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year of the iGEM competition) and enter this information in the Registry. Please see the Registry help page on how to document a contribution to an existing part.
Demonstrate a functional prototype of your project. Your prototype can derive from a previous project (that was not demonstrated to work) by your team or by another team. Show this system working under real-world conditions (biological materials may not be taken outside the lab)
