Teachers' Workshop is over. Thank you very much to those who attended and contributed to make it a great event!!!!!. The UPO-Sevilla team

Sponsors

The Carmona 2011 Teachers' workshop is sponsored by Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO), Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo (CABD) and Olavide en Carmona Cultural Center. Universidad Pablo de Olavide is a Public University located in the municipalities of Sevilla and Dos Hermanas. CABD is a public research center devoted to Developmental Biology and funded by the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), UPO and the Andalusian regional Government, Junta de Andalucía. Olavide en Carmona Cultural Center is an agency associated with Universidad Pablo de Olavide and the Carmona town goverment, devoted to the organization of cultural and scientific events at different venues in the historical town of Carmona.

Who must attend

Unlike last year, this year's workshops are restricted for iGEM team instructors, whether from the Europe region or not.

Represented teams

Teams from the Europe region are encouraged to attend the workshop.

Teams from other regions are also welcome to participate

Why attend the workshop?

Having the Jamboree as the only event where we all get to meet up in person is not ideal. We are encouraging teams to attend the workshops and have the opportunity of meeting, know each other, share their insights and set up fruitful collaborations. In addition, as iGEM is undergoing a number of organizational changes, we would like the teams to be involved in the discussions of how iGEM is changing and what the future of iGEM will be.


Your Role in the Teachers Workshop

Each team will be given less than 5 minutes to speak about their team and their involvement in iGEM this year. We advise against presenting slides because of time - as we are getting larger we want to give everyone the opportunity to speak but appreciate that we aren't just inviting you to come listen to team backgrounds all day. Please think about and be prepared to speak informally about the following:

  • How did you hear about iGEM and why did you get involved?
  • What are your expectations and hopes for iGEM 2011?
  • What has happened at your school to get ready for iGEM 2011?
  • Please describe the team - the students, the instructors, and the facilities available.
  • How are you supporting your team financially?
  • What projects is your team considering so far? (optional)

Please do not plan to give a presentation of the team's project. That will happen at the Regionals and the Jamboree.
