| Best Model | Models and computer simulations provide a great way to describe the function and operation of BioBrick Parts and Devices. Synthetic biology is an engineering discipline and part of engineering is simulation and modeling to determine system behavior before building your design. Designing and simulating can be iterated many times in a computer before moving to the lab. This award is for teams who build a model of their system and use it to inform system design or simulate expected behavior before, or in conjunction with, experiments in the wetlab. | Modelling |
| Best Integrated Human Practices | How does your project affect society and how does society influence the direction of your project? How might ethical considerations and stakeholder input guide your project purpose, design, and experiments you conduct in the lab?? How does this feedback enter into the process of your work all through the iGEM competition? Document a thoughtful and creative approach to exploring these questions and how your project evolved in the process to compete for this award. | Integrated Human Practices |
| Best Education | How have you developed new opportunities to include more people in shaping synthetic biology? Innovative educational tools and outreach activities have the ability to establish a two-way dialogue with new communities by discussing public values and the science behind synthetic biology. Document your approach and what was learned by everyone involved to compete for this award. | Education |
