  • Boston November 2016
    We wrap up the 2016 iGEM season with three awards: Best Wiki, Best Presentation, and Best Poster! Our research is based upon making Mars breathable.
  • Problems January 2017
    Issues arise... We need a new team, as those who were previously on the 2016 UrbanTundra team are now on the UAlberta iGEM team. We begin to interview students from across Edmonton.
  • Recruitment April 2017
    A new team is made, and we are ready to go! Our team is now compoased of three high schools: Archbishop MacDonald, Harry Ainlay, Old Scona Academic
  • NDC Jamboree June 2017
    Friendship! This is our first excursion as a team! We bonded as a team, and this experience allowed us to recognize some issues with our presentation skills, organization, and our project itself. We also learned more about one another during our midnight meeting and Pho outing! Everyone is super excited and cannot wait for everything that is to come.
  • Media and Engineering Mayhem! July 2017
    The month of July is filled with progress on two teams: outreach and ! We came out with a new segment to introduce our team members called #HumansofUrbanTundra for our social media handles on Twitter , Instagram, and Facebook . The media team goal was established: to create a bridge between the public and our team. Meanwhile, the engineering team was busy working on their hydroponics project!
  • Bottle Drive and Silent Auction! August 2017
    We were super successful in getting bottles for our bottle drive, our first bottle drive raising over $1000! This could not have been done without the support of not only our communities, but of the local businesses around the Edmonton area, which are all noted on our sponsor's page! Thank you all!
  • aGEM September 2017
    We returned with a new presentation, with new presenters and a new motivation to do better the second time around! Very lucky to have been able to compete in another event such as this one, as we were able to gain more insight on our project - just in time for iGEM!
  • Elementary Presentation October 2017
    Presented at George P. Nicolson Elementary; lots of support!
