Teams:

Northwestern:

One of the first teams we reached out to was Northwestern. The two teams exchanged project information and provided each other initial feedback.

Imperial London:

For our team, the Wiki proved the most challenging aspect of the required iGEM components due to our lack of computer experts. Fortunately for us, London's Imperial Team came to the rescue. The Brits guided us on various Wiki components and even offered their old website code for us to dissect and examine in order to implement on our website. We're extremely grateful and hope to meet them in Boston to express our thanks!

London School of Boys:

The London School of Boys' iGEM Team was also very beneficial in Wiki help. Adam Jones assisted Annie with many questions regarding the Wiki and went above and beyond to help us with coding.

Singapore:

Wilbert from the Singapore University team was extremely helpful, assisting us with any number of iGEM components and technicalities. He enthusiastically gave us pointers about the Jamboree as well as the iGEM “Do’s and Don’ts”. Because this is the students' first year participating in the iGEM competition, Wilbert meticulously explained some of the more obscure steps to achieve medal criteria and even offered to guide us in the modeling portion of the project. The students still speak fondly of Wilbert and hope to meet him at the Jamboree in November.

US Army/US Marine:

The U.S. Army and Marine were two of the teams that we have contacted. Our team held a long Skype discussion concerning the iGem process and goals, as well as the Interlab, Wiki details, and activities at the Jamboree. The US Navy team advised us to complete the Interlab carefully and to use the already provided Excel spreadsheet. On our side, we offered to help the US Army team with troubleshooting their project. After the video conference, we were able to finish the Interlab swiftly with few hiccups.

Michigan State:

We plan to attend the mini-Jamboree/meet-up on July 29th at Michigan State University. There will be quite a few teams attending and many activities have been planned. Our team will give a short presentation and then discuss and receive feedback and criticism. We are very excited!

University of Nebraska Lincoln

We filled out their scientific survey over global warming and methane gas online.

Thank you to every team who has offered their help throughout the year! They have truly made this a great first year for our team!
