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 ([http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I14032 I14032], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_J13002 J13002], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_I14015 I14015], [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_K091101 K091101], and [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_R0011 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 [http://partsregistry.org/Part:BBa_F2620 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 - ?
