Judging Criteria

This year, our goal was to complete the requirements necessary for the rewarding of a gold medal. The basic list of these criteria[1] are expanded upon below, with helpful reference links to parts of our website detailing how and when we accomplished each objective.

Bronze Medal

The requirements to earn a Bronze Medal are:

  1. Register the team - Check!
  2. Successfully complete and submit a Project Summary form. - ?
  3. Create and share a Description of the team's project via the iGEM wiki - You're at the Wiki right now! Visit the Project page for more detail about our project.
  4. Present a Poster and Talk at the iGEM Jamboree - We'll see you in November!
  5. Enter information detailing at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device in the Registry of Parts - TBD
  6. Submit DNA for at least one new BioBrick Part or Device to the Registry of Parts. - TBD

Silver Medal

The requirements to earn a Silver Medal, in addition to the Bronze Medal requirements, are:

  1. Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. - to do
  2. Characterize the operation of at least one new BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information on the Parts or Device page via the Registry of Parts - to do

Gold Medal

The requirements to earn a Gold Medal, in addition to the Silver Medal requirements, are any one OR more of the following:

  1. Characterize or improve an existing BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information back on the Registry. - Since aTc and IPTG regulate our AND gate, we decided to find existing parts regulated by the same. We characterized our 5 promoters included with the 2009 iGEM kit (I14032, J13002, I14015, K091101, and R0011 in terms of transfer function, specificity, response time, and stability. We gratefully acknowledge MIT's iGEM 2004 team for their pioneering work in characterizing BBa_F2620, and hope that our work continues to maintain the high standard for characterization of parts.
  2. Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
  3. Develop and document a new technical standard that supports the (and choice) - to do
  4. Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project - ?
