IGEM - The iGEM project wiki lyrics

The official form of presenting your results is an iGEM wiki. It is very important to have an organized and clear presentation. Most of you know Wikipedia. You will create your own similar platform to communicate about your project. Isn't it exciting?! When you register, your team gets its own wiki page on the igem server. Your task is to fill it! You need to think about that from the start of your project. You should learn a little programming to make your wiki pretty and functional. Think about how the form and colors correspond to your project. Make sure, your Wiki contains all demanded information and make it easy to find for the judges. The main parts of the Wiki will be: your project and team description, safety, submitted parts and attributions. Here is an example of a wiki page: The first tab is your home page. You can put here a welcoming message, your current achievement etc. The next tab can be about the project. You should describe your project in detail with diagrams, pictures and videos. You can divide it into subparts, for instance: introduction, modeling, project in detail and results. For your submitted parts to the Biobrick registry, you can create a new tab or just put them in a project sub-tab. In the lab notebook you describe all your lab work with protocols and results. You need to include ALL the experiments, even the failed ones. Make sure the content is clear and anyone could re-do your experiments EXACTLY as you performed them. SAFETY - is a place where you explain how you took care about biosafety of your project and your opinion and ideas about ethics and safety issues in synthetic biology. It is a very important part! In the HUMAN PRACTICES tab you describe how you realised the Human Practices part of your project. The TEAM tab is for people to get to know each team member better. You should introduce yourself, your background, your interests and speak about your motivation for joining the iGEM adventure. You can also add a tab where you thank your partners and sponsors or leave information to contact you. You can inspire yourself with existing wikis of other iGEM teams. You can always e-mail them and ask how they managed to obtain the desired effect. You will probably need to learn some HTML and CSS to have more control over the layout of your wiki. Make sure you completed your Wiki before the deadline, modifications won't be possible afterwards.
