Summer Curriculum
- Selecting/Development of the iGEM team:High School teacher Mr.Cachianes hand selected seven students from his second year biotechnology class for the iGEM team.
- Pre-meetings:Starting early April, Mr.Cachianes and his seven students met with UCSF's iGEM coordinators to start the pre-project and learn more about synthetic biology and cell motility.
- Bootcamp: For two weeks, the iGEM team met everyday for four hour lectures on the mechanisms of cell motility, and discussed scientific papers.
- Brainstorming:Bootcamp culminated in one large brainstorming project where we put our heads together and put what we learned to the test by trying to find ways to brake, accelerate, and steer a cell.
- Execution:We took the best ideas from brainstorming, modified them, and prepared to carry them out.

- [http://miaomiao.tumblr.com/ Edna Miao]: IGEM has forced me outside my comfort zone many times and consequently has taught me better public speaking and critical thinking skills, on top of new lab techniques of course.
- [http://echan08.blogspot.com/ Ethan Chan]: This experience has brought me closer to my peers and gave me critical lab experience that not many High School students get!
