Jamboree and for the commodity of our guests. For more info about the

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!

Each team 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 cm X 120 cm.
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.
