This 4-day camp was designed to engage high school students in synthetic biology. To inspire SynBio ideas we have made the concept of idea generation graspable and enjoyable!

The workshop was divided into two modules, emphasizing a hands-on approach - the first focusing on incorporating synthetic biology fundamentals, and the second a “SynBio Auction”. The Synbio Auction will allowed the students to apply the concepts they have learned and propose a strategy to solve a real-life problem, giving them an actual flavor of current cutting-edge synbio innovation.

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 2024, we introduced 13 new 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. We're so excited to share these amazing projects with the synthetic biology community! Hear from the Heads through this collection of short pitches and find a project that resonates with you!
