Medal Criteria
==Bronze==
- Team registration => See our registration
- Complete Judging form
- Team Wiki
- Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree
- At least one new submitted and well-characterized standard BioBrick Part or Device. 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” section of that BioBrick’s Registry entry also counts.
=> See our sendbox
=> See an example for a designed, characterized BioBrick
=> See an expamle for an existing BioBrick that has been rated
Silver: In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements...
- Demonstrate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected
- Characterize the operation of at least one new BioBrick Part or Device and enter this information in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry.
Gold: In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, any one or more of the following:
- Improve the function of an existing BioBrick Part or Device (created by another team or your own institution in a previous year) and enter this information in the Registry (in the “Experience” section of that BioBrick’s Registry entry), and don't forget to create a new registry page for the improved part.
The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community. For instance: strengthening the expression of a part by mutating the DNA sequence; modifying one or a few parts in construct (Device) so that it performs its intended job better; improving a cloning or expression vector that can be easily used by the entire community; and of course, troubleshooting and fixing a part reported to be non-functional. Data from an experimental comparison between the original and improved part/ device is strongly recommended. - Help another iGEM team by, for example, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, or modeling or simulating their system.
- Outline and detail a new approach to an issue of Human Practice in synthetic biology as it relates to your project, such as safety, security, ethics, or ownership, sharing, and innovation.
