− | + | For our collaboration this year we decided to host what we called a “Presentation Bootcamp”. We invited nearby iGEM teams to our campus to exchange ideas, learn about other teams’ projects and practice our Jamboree presentations. | |
The iGEM teams that participated in this event were from Florida State University and Lambert high school. We started the day with a meet and greet where all of the team members got to introduce themselves and exchange funny lab stories while enjoying breakfast. Next, we did a “speed dating” ice breaker. For this activity, we had the teams break up and pair with members from different schools. Then, each team member took turns giving a 1 minute elevator pitch about their projects to the member of the other team. We concluded the activity with a competition where a student would explain another team’s research as accurately as they could. The winning pair was given a Starbucks gift card. | The iGEM teams that participated in this event were from Florida State University and Lambert high school.

− | After meeting the Lambert team, we collaborated even further by using a bead beater that they 3D printed themselves. We used their homemade beater to transform Symbiodinium and compared this method with that of a mini bead beater obtained from a GSU lab. | + | After meeting the Lambert team, we collaborated even further by using a bead beater that they 3D printed themselves.
