Jamboree Information

Jamboree

The University has excellent facilities for the development of the Jamboree and for the commodity of our guests. For more info about the University check out this site and the Travel page of this Wiki

Regarding Teams

The Organization Committee will give a Team Box to each team, its contents are:

1. Team member badges for each member of the Team. The badges should be worn all times during the Jamboree, so we can get to know each other and we can identify you for guidance, entrance in the presentation rooms and access to foods, dinners and parties!

2. A booklet for each team member containing Jamboree Handbook, program schedule, map of the University Campus, information about public transport in Bogotá and sponsor information will be handed to each member of the team.

 

Show your Team!

We encourage you to create a unique t-shirt that shows your team spirit! Use colors, drawings, themes, everything you want to create your team identity and to show your uniqueness to the other participants! Of course, use your sponsors and show who supported you!

 

Practice presentation

There will a practice session of Friday, and all teams are encouraged and welcome to sign up in the room sheet to reverse a room for the practice. There are limited rooms, so sign up as soon as you can. Take on account that we cannot match the practice room with the room that you will give your presentation in on Saturday.

The Spreadsheet is Unavalilable now, but check out soon!

 

Posters

Each teams needs to submit and present a poster at the Jamboree. The poster should comprise the main ideas of your project. Check the results pages from last year contest to get an idea for your poster! Poster session takes place on Saturday at TBD and there should be only one poster per team. The poster should be hung up on a poster stand in TBD and should be of a maximum area of 120 X 120 cm.

Presentation

Each team has 20 minutes of presentation time, 5 minutes for questions and answers, and 5 minutes to switch with the next presenters. We gently ask you to use the time wisely, and try to not prejudice the teams that follow you. In case of any IT problem, an iGEM organization member will be there to help you in anything you need.

Social Event

On Saturday night after the poster reception, we will be hosting the iGEM Latin-America Jamboree Party. TBD

Awards Ceremony

The awards ceremony will be held on Sunday.
