Register the team, have a great summer, and plan to have fun at the Regional Jamboree. Done.
Successfully complete and submit the iGEM 2013 Judging form. Done.

Check out our Description here
Plan to present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree. Done.
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 (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). A new application of, and outstanding documentation (quantitative data showing the Part's/ Device's function), of a previously existing BioBrick part in the 'Experience' page of that part's Registry entry also counts. Please note you must submit this new part to the iGEM Registry.

Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
We helped the Purdue team by participating in their survey and consulting them via web conference about our thoughts on their attempt to improve biobrick characterization
Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.
Check out our article on the ethics of manipulating the human epigenome. It has been accepted for publication by the Penn Bioethics Journal.
