This summer we organized the “SynBio 101 Summer Camp 2020”, in which we had the opportunity to teach high school students the basics of Synthetic Biology. We held workshops about different aspects of Synthetic Biology, like its importance in our current society and the science behind genetic cloning. During the week we had other IGEM teams as guest speakers, for this we collaborated with teams: UNAL, Tec CEM, Bolivia and Ecuador. They presented their projects to the students and shared their IGEM experience.

iGEM Düsseldorf organized a so-called Postcard Collaboration. Here, iGEM teams from all over the world showed their creativity by designing their own postcards, combined with a message about their project. We participated in this collaboration, together with 31 other iGEM teams, and designed our own postcard titled “Vieques”, which was inspired by our project and our expected outcome. Here is our postcard as well as a collage of all the others.

During the iGEM Opening week, Team iGEM Moscow made a collaboration called Flash Mob, where all the teams around the world posted an image in social media at the same time with the purpose of sharing that we are all united in time and space.

Sugar Rush Challenge by IISER Bhopal made this collaboration to come up with a fun, engaging and creative way to get distracted during quarantine. We had to put on our baker's hats and whip up something delicious. Here is a collage of our creations.

iGEM RUM_UPRM added 5 puertorrican songs to the playlist on made by IISER_Bhopal called “The Sound of iGEM”. This playlist has songs from all over the world, allowing us to learn about other teams' culture. Go check it out on Spotify!

During the iGEM World Meet Up 2020, Team RUM_UPRM along with many other teams, presented a team spirit poster where we showed how unique and interdisciplinary this team is. In addition to this, we were able to learn about other teams from all round the world.
