Eleven students and two supervisors make up the Consort iGEM team. We are located in Consort, Alberta and attend the local K-12 school which has 232 students overall, with around 70 people in the high school. This is our very first year in iGEM and, being in the middle of no where, three and a half hours away from the nearest University, it is extremely tough to get all the supplies we need when it comes to lab equipment. We not only took on the challenge of genetically engineering E.Coli, but we took on the challenges of building our very own lab from the ground up - design, HTML coding, and most importantly, synthetic biology. Before iGEM, we didn't even know there was such a thing as "Synthetic Biology." Getting our project up and going has been a great experience for all of us, and we cannot wait to participate in the coming years when we will have the equipment and the experience to focus more on the science than we were able to this year.
