Revision as of 12:16, 17 September 2015
We were successful inside and outside of the lab over the course of this project and achieved many requirements for the bronze, silver, and gold medal. We were very proud of our results especially given we are a small team and had to undertake iGEM during our university semester. As with any research project, there are many more strategies that could be undertaken and much more work that could be done. We are excited to see how future iGEM teams can use our project to build on their own.
Below we have outlined our achievements in line with the bronze, silver, and gold medal requirements:
Bronze medal
- Register for iGEM, have a great summer (although it's Winter in Australia) and attend the Giant Jamboree
- See everyone there!
- Complete the judging form
- One form completed.
- Create a description of the team’s project
- Finito description.
- Plan to present a poster and talk at the iGEM Jamboree
- Poster printed and presentation created
- Create a wiki with a clear attribution of each aspect of your project
- The wiki has been created (wiki-ception) along with an attribution page to thank our fantastic sponsors.
- Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device
- Hai.
Silver medal
- Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected.
- See here for the characterisation and evidence our part works as expected
- Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry.
- Si! They are on the registry
- Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed a human practices issue in the context of your project
- Our Human Practices focused on education, environmental sustainability, and industry. We also undertook numerous public engagement activities.
Gold medal
- Expand on your silver medal Human Practices activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project.
- See how we used our industry research to change the nature of our project through the integration of LacI into our design here.
- Help any registered iGEM team from a high-school, different track, another university, or institution in a significant way by, for example, mentoring a new team, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, modeling/simulating their system or helping validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem
- See our collaboration activities here, and see our contribution to the Eindhoven cloning guide here.
- Improve the function OR characterization of a previously existing BioBrick Part or Device
- We improved the function of the BBa_K1094400 part from the 2013 Copenhagen team, the BBa_K376004 part from the 2010 Penn State team, and the BBa_K660004 part from the 2011 Glasgow team.
Given the evidence above, we believe we have successfully fulfilled the requirements to become Sydney's first gold medal winning team.
