I.II COMMUNITY BRICKS

CommunityBricks is an attempt to change the way that we do outreach and address human practices at iGEM. By creating an open source community of lesson plans and activity protocols, we hope to stimulate deeper, more engaging experiences for both sides of the exchange.

I.III ALUMNI iGEM

AlumniGEM is a new platform for connecting past, present and future members of iGEM. It will unite the iGEM community, resurrect old ties, and bring forward inspiring stories from past alumni. It has a forum where users can connect with each other and share every kind of information, especially about SynBio.
