Collaboration

We collaborated with multiple teams this year.

Our main collaborators are Duke and NCSU iGEM teams. We work together closely to mentor high school students from North Carolina, develop education kits, and also help High school students in Asia to collaborate and prepare them for college.

The three teams together held TriGEM in late September. The meetup is hybrid, we had over 70 people attending in the North Carolina Triangle area attending on-site and people from all around the globe joining online. We had iGEM presentation, faculty speakers, and multiple activities to help students interested in synthetic biology gain more insights into the subject and meet people with similar interest.

We participated in the Mid-Atlantic meetup hosted by UVA iGEM team, exchanging our project outcome with other teams, providing each other valuable feedback, and establishing collaborations.

We joined NYCU-Taipei for a meeting exchanging our project presentation and offering advice to each other.

Human Practices

We shared our project with UNC students at our Small Fest (an event where clubs introduce what they’re doing and recruit potential students). We introduced our project and iGEM competition to more than a hundred students at UNC.
