Accomplishments
- Adapted a statistical analysis method to fit synthetic biology and wrote a protocol so that it can be utilized in other teams' projects
- Updated Drew Endy's bicistronic design constructs to be compatible with the iGEM registry standards
- Collaborated with over 75 iGEM teams to design a standardized datasheet for easier data representation and part characterization
- Officially submitted a new promoter to the registry and showed proof of function, with plans to submit the remaining four parts at a later date after further characterization
- Performed outreach to local farmers and producers in the West Lafayette area to gauge their thoughts and knowledge towards synthetic biology
- Worked with representatives of the Girls Scouts of America to design and implement a biotechnology badge and introduction curriculum
- Continued work from the 2012 competition to create a community lab space in Noblesville, Indiana for public use and education
Medal Requirements
Requirements for a Bronze Medal:
| ✓ | Register the team, have a great summer, and plan to have fun at the Regional Jamboree. |
| ✓ | Successfully complete and submit this iGEM 2013 Judging form. |
| ✓ | Create and share a Description of the team's project using the iGEM wiki and the team's parts using the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. |
| ✓ | Plan to present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree. |
| ✓ | 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. |

| ✓ | Description of function |
| ✓ | Quantitative data showing the Part or Device function |
| ✓ | Acknowedgment of sources and references |
Additional Requirements for a Silver Medal:
| ✓ | 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' 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) |

| ✓ | Description of function |
| ✓ | Quantitative data showing the Part or Device Function |
| ✓ | Acknowedgment of sources and references |
| ✓ | Your project may have implications for the environment, security, safety and ethics and/or ownership and sharing. Describe one or more ways in which these or other broader implications have been taken into consideration in the design and execution of your project. Safety |
Additional Requirements for a Gold Medal: (one OR more)
| ✓ | 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.Characterization Standard |
