Gold Medal

At least two of the following goals:

✓ 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 that you simulate in the lab. See our Functional Prototype page for details.

✓ Improve the function OR characterization of a previously existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team, or by your own team in in a previous year of iGEM), and enter this information in the part's page on the Registry. See our Parts page for details.

✓ 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 page for details.

✓ Choose one of these two options: (1) 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. OR (2) Demonstrate an innovative Human Practices activity that relates to your project (this typically involves educational, public engagement, and/or public perception activities; see the Human Practices Hub for information and examples of innovative activities from previous teams).

Silver Medal

All of the following goals:

✓ Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. We have validated that our tandem promoters function: 1232456789 and 123456987

✓ Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines)

✓ Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project.

Bronze Medal

All of the following goals:

✓ Team registration.

✓ Complete Judging form.

✓ Team Wiki.

✓ Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Giant Jamboree.

✓ Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your project. This page must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services.

✓ Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device used in your project/central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry.
