Taking our team (12 students & 2 advisors) cost us $60,000 USD PER YEAR to attend @iGEM. The registration fees are outrageous & create inequality especially now that corporations are allowed to compete vs students.
We switched to biobuilder.org for 1/100th of the cost.
Recently met someone who said that their child's participation in iGEM — materials, going to the conference — was more than the cost of their entire college education in India.
When a Raspberry Pi Pico is 4 dollars, how can one convince brilliant young people to study #biology?
@iGEM_TAS is joining the BioBuilder (@SystemsSally) final assembly on 3/17! What a great educational resource to share syn bio research and ideas. Are you a high school team interested in sharing your syn bio research and ideas? Send us a msg and we can help you for next year!
