In iGEM Community, we work to provide tools and resources that will help you create projects that are beneficial for the iGEM and the synthetic biology community.
In 2023, we had 23 active projects! To bring their brilliant ideas to life, our Project Heads went through a 4-week Bootcamp where they were provided with guidelines and resources on project ideation, leadership and management.
In 2024, the new cohort of Project Heads went through the same Bootcamp, building upon existing projects and bringing their novel ideas to life! We're so excited to share these amazing projects with the synthetic biology community! Hear from our Project Heads (new and returning!) through this collection of short pitches!
