iGEM Minterlab 2019
iGEM Minterlab 2019
Minterlab takes the concept of having scientists around the world working on one experiment and enables scientific experimentation to elementary and middle school students through an Interlab-esque opportunity.
iGEM teams around the world that are a part of the Minterlab collaboration will host summer camp sessions that are 5 days long. Each day will have lessons will be 1-2 hours. However when and where a summer camp session is held can be chosen by the hosting team. One Minterlab session should cover a curriculum that we will prepare together, that each team is free to put their own spin on, as well as the main Minterlab experiment which we develop together. At the end of the summer, we will compile all the data and observations accumulated from the Minterlab sessions across the world and compile it on one website for everyone to see!

2018 iGEM Guide for Community Labs
2018 iGEM Guide for Community Labs
In 2018, we collaborated with the Baltimore BioCrew, another high school iGEM team, to create an iGEM Guide for Community Laboratories that are interesting in starting a high school iGEM team. With the unique circumstances of being a high school team and working out of a community lab, we have had to surpass different challenges and situations that many teams may not have come across. We were also aware that many community labs around the world were interested in participating in iGEM, but were having difficulties to do so; so by designing a guide, we hope to help these labs with some of the issues that they are facing, as they are ones that we have faced.
After hearing back from 11 community labs from around the world we outlined some of our recommendations for new teams, some background from our teams’ experiences, and other alternative ideas and solutions that we had brainstormed. As our experience with iGEM continues, we plan on adding more sections and we are striving to encourage more community laboratories to invite local high schoolers to compete in iGEM.
