Achievements

Bronze.
Your team must convince the judges you have achieved the following 6 goals:
  1. Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree.
  2. Complete the Judging form.
  3. Create and share a Description of the team's project using the iGEM wiki, and document the team's parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts.
  4. Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree. See the 2015 poster guidelines for more information.
  5. 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.
  6. Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). You may also document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year, adding that documentation to the part's main page.

Silver:
In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements, your team must convince the judges you have achieved the following 3 goals:

  1. Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of the Registry entry for that Part/Device. This working part must be different from the part you documented in Bronze medal criterion #6.
  2. Participate in the Measurement Interlab Study. Submit measurement data to the committee by the study deadline (see iGEM 2015 calendar of events for details).
  3. iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. We refer to these activities as Human Practices in iGEM. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project. (See the Human Practices Hub for more information.)

Gold:
In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, your team must convince the judges you have achieved at least two of the following goals:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Demonstrate a substantial improvement over the state of the art in cost, efficiency, precision, resolution, and/or other relevant capabilities of your measurement technique or a previous iGEM team measurement project.
  4. Demonstrate the ease of accessibility and/or portability of a new or existing measurement technique of your choosing. Document the use of the measurement technique in a lab other than your own on your team wiki.

Bronze

Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your design and construction works as expected.

Two homologous recombination sequences for integration of specific DNA into a specified site within the genome via double homologous recombination were created and worked as expected (BBa_K1424000 and BBa_K1424001).

Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.


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

iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted.

Gold

Improve the function OR characterization of an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the Registry.
Improved the function of a previously documented part ( BBa_K300989 ) to make it compatible with iGEM assembly standards RFC10, 12, 23, 25 and 1000 (the previous part was incompatible with all iGEM assembly standards), and also optimised the promoter and RBS for use in the host organism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. New biobrick has the part number BBa_K1424003.
