Midwestern Meetup:
On June 30th, two members of our team travelled to Michigan State University for the Midwestern iGEM Meetup. We spent the morning on a tour of the university’s botanical gardens learning about a range of plants and the history behind the gardens. After lunch, each team gave a short presentation and answered questions about their project. Then, we went on a tour of the Michigan State University iGEM team’s lab and facilities. Through this meetup, we made connections with other teams and have already started collaborating with the Michigan State team.

Trading Cards:
Every iGEM project is changing the world. We want to recognize the SUPER abilities of all the iGEM teams by creating a league of superheroes made up of superheroes designed by each team based on their project. All superheroes will be placed on a trading card, and each team will receive trading cards from all the teams that participated. We are gathering information on the name of the team, name of the superhero, the team’s contact info, the “home base” for the superhero, the superhero’s mission, and any special powers that the Superhero has.
