"As the sole igem team from Shandong Province, OUCigem has made huge efforts to bring synthetic biology into our school. Beside academic preparation, we have also organized a lot of social actiivities to publicize synthetic biology: we introduces synthetic biology to students in local high school; we are setting up a system for educating new college igemers for the next generation of Synthetic Biologists; we as well built good cooperation with QIBEBT. We believe OUCigemers will make more and better progress in the future." Check out their video! |

"We are going to organize an interactive expo in our uni this September 19, 20 and 21. This expo is called "Túnel de la Biología Sintética" (The Tunnel of Synthetic Biology), which is basically a set of 10 stations (with posters and interactive activities) arranged in a manner that resembles a tunnel, where we'll introduce the general public to Genetic Engineering, Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology using an accessible language." - Team UANL Mty-Mexico There will be an online tour in English at the following times:

"Hi, we are Team METU. After several ideas and shootings and several disappointments with our team video, we thought why so serious, we have tons of funny clips we shot for ourselves. So with the aid of a small camera and this years funny and catchy songs, we edited our small funny video clips to show the iGEM community our fun team and share our fun in the lab with all of you."

"We are this year's iGEM team from the TU München. Within our team and also in discussions with other iGEM teams during the last years we came across a potential point for improvement: Standardization of BioBrick part descriptions. To achieve the best output for all of us we appreciate your input and feedback. In addition we will provide you with a small present for the collaboration page of your wiki and we will raffle a typical Bavarian present among all teams completing the following survey: www.surveymonkey.com/s/B8LZNXQ. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us under igem (at) wzw.tum.de." |

"Sharing and learning from each other is one of the most important features of the iGEM competition, in that any lack of experience could be well ameliorated by studying the projects and the way of presenting them of other and/or previous teams. We managed to introduce you some representative projects from different perspective. And we hope this collection might help iGEMers with their projects and presentations."

"As an emerging field, Synthetic Biology calls for more lively and intelligent young minds to generate ideas with great potentials. This summer, Peking2012 iGEM team has done a great job to motivate high school students to study Synthetic Biology and to guide them toward future participation in iGEM competition."

"The Boston University iGEM team would like to invite you to participate in the first ever New England iGEM (NEGEM) meeting in Boston on Saturday, September 15th. We thought it would be a great opportunity for the New England regional teams to meet one another and practice presenting before the Regional Jamboree in October so students and advisers can give the teams feedback and the teams will have time to improve their presentations before October. We'll happily welcome other teams from the North East outside of New England if you want to travel to Boston for the day. We hope to see you in September! For more information, please contact Traci Haddock (thaddock at bu dot edu), the BU Team Adviser." |

"#gemFM is University College London's iGEM radio show. Their aim is to raise awareness of the breadth of projects synthetic biology offers, and offer a platform for iGEM teams to share their project and reflect on the competition. Each episode features an in-depth conversation with a team and an expert interview." Tune in here! |

Team UT-Tokyo-Software created a BioBrick search program! "'BioBrick Search' by UT-Tokyo-Software is a web application for searching BioBrick parts that everyone can easily use on web browser. Search results are sorted by criteria such as relevance to your input, popularity and reliability to ensure you get the BioBrick you want faster than ever. Please try it out!" |
