Northwestern
One of the first teams we reached out to was Northwestern. The two teams exchanged project information and provided each other initial feedback. It was the first step in the direction towards collaboration with teams!

− | <p>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.</p> | + | <p>Wilbert from the Singapore University team was extremely helpful, assisting us with any number of iGEM components and technicalities.

− | <h2 | + | <h2>We attended the mini-Jamboree/meet-up on July 29th at Michigan State University. It was an awesome experience with many teams from across the midwest meeting up and discussing our projects and progress so far. Our team gave a short presentation and received feedback and criticism as well as praise. It was very interesting listening to the presentations of other iGem groups and what they were working on! After the presentations, we conversed with many groups and talked about everything iGem! Our team met an iGEM veteran who gave the team extremely insightful advice on the inner workings of the jamboree.</p> |
