Team Cap
To best support our high school teams in the 2013 season, there will be a cap on the number of high school teams that iGEM Headquarters can accept. Registration will be limited to the first 50 teams which complete ALL registration requirements and are accepted by iGEM Headquarters. In the event you are not accepted to participate in iGEM2013, we encourage you to express your interest in the high school division by sending an email to hq (at) igem.org so that we can contact you about other opportunities to participate in iGEM.
Registration Requirements
To register a new team, the team's primary contact must first create a user account here, or by clicking on "Log in" at the top of any igem.org page. After setting up a user account, they will be prompted to either join an existing team, or to create a new team account.
A high school team will need to complete the following requirements to complete their application and be accepted by iGEM Headquarters in order to be an official iGEM 2013 HS team:
- Primary contact must register the team here
- Complete resource description on the team information page
- Complete shipping information on the team information page
- Complete and submit consent forms:
- Participant consent forms for every team member
- Principal consent form
- Department Head consent form (if applicable)
- Registration fee must be submitted
iGEM Headquarters will then contact the teams regarding their application status.
Primary Contact
The team primary contact must register the team. The primary contact must be a high school teacher or, if the HS students are working at a university, the university faculty member in whose lab the team will work in. Students will not be able to register the team.
Team Name
The team name should be brief and descriptive, and usually include the city or school the team represents (ex: BostonLatinSchool, BC_High). Team names have a 20 character limit, which includes the following:
- letters A-Z
- letters a-z
- numbers 0-9
- special characters "-" (dash), and "_" (underscore)
Team Roster
All team members must have a user account and be listed on the team roster. Team members include teachers, students, and advisors, and may include faculty members if applicable.
Memberships will be pending until participant consent forms have been received.
Consent Forms
The following forms are required to participate in the iGEM 2013 HS Competition:
- Participant consent forms for every team member (includes students, teachers, advisors, and if applicable, faculty members)
- Principal consent form
- Department Head consent form (if team is working at a university laboratory)
Download the consent forms here. Completed consent forms should be sent to iGEM HQ.
Until all necessary consent forms are received by iGEM Headquarters, the team is not considered an official iGEM 2013 HS team.
Team approval
Once all the above requirements have been fulfilled, teams will be approved as official iGEM 2013 HS teams. The cap of 50 teams applies to the first 50 teams which complete the requirements and are accepted by iGEM Headquarters.
