iGEM is an international competition in biotechnology/synthetic biology. Student teams from >300 institutions world-wide work for 6-9 months (full time in summer) to explore and create prototypes of biological/genetic devices and/or related hardware and software. In the fall, student teams present their work at the international jamboree and online through their team wikis (see links below).
