Science Giants Lounge
Hosted by IDT
Friday - Sunday - Room 207 - 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Sir Isaac Newton, 1675 Take a break from your hard work, relax, and remember some of the Giants in Science that have helped all of us get here. Prizes and refreshments will be provided at various times. Stop by Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm and check it out!
Brainstorming Board
Friday - Sunday - HQ Table by Hall C - 9:00 am - 7:30 pm
Come visit us at the HQ Table outside of Hall C and add your voice to the Brainstorming Board! Markers and adhesive notes will be available next to the board. We will pose a new question every day during the Giant Jamboree and look forward to collecting your thoughts about the topic.
Build a Landmark
Friday - Sunday - HQ Table by Hall C - 9:00 am - 7:30 pm
Looking for a hands-on activity to de-stress during the weekend? Stop by the iGEM HQ desk outside of Hall C and build a famous landmark from your country using marshmallows and toothpicks! We’ll keep the tasty landmarks on display until the end of each day near the HQ Desk.
Meet Your iGEM HQ Rep!
Friday - Multiple Rooms* - 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Join us for a fun lunch break during the first day of presentations! Grab a lunch from the poster halls and then come meet your iGEM HQ Rep. After receiving our monthly emails and replying throughout the season, you can finally meet your HQ Rep in person! This lunchtime workshop is your chance to meet your HQ Rep and other teams on the first full day of the Giant Jamboree. We’ll be running a Q&A session to to break the ice and get an informal discussion started.
Locations:
- Ballroom A
Ana Sifuentes and Traci Haddock-Angelli - Room 302
Vinoo Selvarajah and Kitwa Ng - Room 304
Maria Bartolini and Abigail Sison
Synthetic Biology Engineering Challenge 1
Hosted by Twist Bioscience
Friday - Room 208 - 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Can you be the hero the world needs? Design and build a synthetic biology solution to an unusual problem. Come work with other iGEMers to use your creativity and syn bio engineering skills to solve a science fiction dilemma. Best solution wins a prize!
InterLab Study
Friday - Room 304 - 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The iGEM interlab study is the largest scientific replication project in all of synthetic biology. It is intended to be both a significant collective scientific project and a fun educational experience. In this workshop, we will discuss the goals and implementation of this year’s interlab study, with the aim of figuring out how to make it even better next year. We will also present the results from this year’s interlab and compare them to the previous studies. This workshop invites all teams who participated in the interlab study, are interested in participating in the future, or who are interested in issues around scientific replication to come and share your thoughts!
Mentorship Workshop
Friday - Room 306 - 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Come learn about the AlumniGEM Mentorship Program! This year, we paired twelve mentors with eleven teams. These teams and mentors will share their experiences, and we will use their comments and yours to expand and improve upon our program for iGEM 2018. We will start the session off with a short summary of what the program has accomplished, hear from those who participated in it this year, discuss the future of the mentorship program, and then host an open discussion of iGEM mentorship in general. If you are looking to start or continue a new team, share iGEM mentorship ideas, and give back to the iGEM community, then we highly encourage you to attend!
SynBio Solutions
Hosted by Agilent
Friday - Room 310 - 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Discover technologies that accelerate the Synthetic Biology revolution. From the SureVector Next Generation Cloning System, providing user-friendly customization of cloning and expression vectors in a 20-minute reaction, to the QuikChange HT Protein Engineering System, enabling rapid creation of libraries of rationally designed mutants, to CRISPR/Cas9 research tools and more. iGEM teams using Agilent sponsored SynBio kits will have the opportunity to share their unique experiences.
