We all were excited when we built the Mini, and we wanted to see how easy it actually was for people to build it. We also needed feedback on how to improve the construction manual. We Laser-cut the parts, fabricated the PCBs and soldered the components - all which can be done by common facilities anywhere in the world - and gave these parts to Arpit, a freshman in college. He managed to build the GCODe Mini in two hours! And although this was much better than what we expected, Arpit gave us some valuable feedback on where he found the manual difficult to understand, and which parts could be improved further. This helped us make the manual for the Mini core comprehensive and user-friendly.

Blah blah

GCODe Mini Assembly

Our iGEM Hardware Outreach involved talking to professor, PhD students, undergraduates and random IISc visitors across field ranging from optics to electronics to pathology. We learned many useful things, some of which appear on our Hardware Evolution page and understood what a difference GCODe would make.

Once we were done writing up the documentation for the GCODe Mini, we needed to know how easy it would be for someone else to build. Sure, the documentation looked complete to us, but that's because we already knew how to build it! There would definitely be lots of little things that seemed obvious to us, but would leave anyone else confused. There was only one way to find out - make someone build it! We invited Arpit Behera, a college freshman at IISc, to build the Mini from the instructions you see on the wiki.

We gave Arpit all the parts he needed, laser-cut and soldered and a link to our Construction Manual.

He managed to build the GCODe Mini in less than two hours!

Although this was extremely gratifying, Arpit did have lots of feedback for us on where he found the manual difficult to understand, and which parts could be improved further. This helped us make the manual for the Mini much more comprehensive and user-friendly.

More blahs and I'll fart

Visit By a Social Scientist

More blah

Public Engagement and Education

blaaaaaah.
