Silver (in addition to Bronze Medal requirements)

Experimental validation that at least one of our new Biobrick Part(s) or Device(s) works as expected.

Characterisation of working Biobrick(s) documented in the "Main Page" section of its Part's/Device's Registry Entry.

New part submitted to iGEM Parts Registry (adhering to the iGEM Registry guidelines).

Implications of our project to the environment, security, safety and ethics, and/or ownership and sharing. Also, description of one or more ways these, or broader, implications have been taken into consideration in the design and execution of our project.
