Consort iGEM Team of 2015

The Team

Our team originates from the general area of Consort - a rural Albertan village with a population of about 750 people. Despite being from a small town, we have taken on the challenge of creating an iGEM Team, mostly through determination, and we took on the challenges of developing our very own biochemistry lab. Inside our high school science classroom we have designed bio bricks, taught ourselves how to build a website, and most importantly we have taught our community about synthetic biology. One of the amazing aspects of coming from a small town is the support we receive from local businesses and individuals, and within no time we received financial and community support. After building our own shaker table, borrowing the Kindergarten's chick incubator, and borrowing and receiving supplies such as a food dehydrator, spectrophotometer, centrifuge, and more equipment over a two year span. As a team, we also believe that coming from a small rural community gives us a unique, distinct advantage over the other teams - the community involvement is amazingly close-knit, and we've brought new ideas and perspectives to iGEM that other city teams may not have brought before.
