GOLD

- The growth of the Registry depends on having a broad base of reliable parts. This is why the improvement of an existing part is just as important as the creation and documentation of a new part. An "improvement" is anything that improves the functionality and ease-of-use of a part, so that it is more likely to be used by the community.
"Characterization" is a measurement of a functional parameter of a part, preferably in absolute units, that can precisely and repeatably be performed in other labs.
-> We successfully improved the biobrick assembly method for fusion protein by using NheI restriction site
- Help any registered iGEM team from another school or institution
-> We collaborated with different teams:
- iGEM Evry with their project of collecting

-> We participated in the French meetup with the seven teams of France,
-iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, Describe ,Evaluate your approach, including whether it allowed you to answer your question(s), how it influenced the team’s scientific project, and how it might be adapted for others to use (within and beyond iGEM). We encourage thoughtful and creative approaches, and those that draw on past Policy & Practice (formerly Human Practices) activities.
-> We were highly participating in making the team and synthetic biology known with a wide audience
-> We developed a board game about synthetic biology
-> We are present in different medias (Internet, Social Networks, Journals, TV News)
-> We communicated with the audience, explaining the project and its sustainability for the future, and debating about its potential importance in replacing petrol-based materials

SILVER

- Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected
=> We sucessfully tested our part Bba_K1317003 with lots of experiments (production of the polymer, purification, testing in downstream processes with physico-chemical characterization (wet-spinning, mass spectrometry…)

- Document the characterization of this part in the “Main Page” section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry
=> Bba_K1317003 was documented, all the data is available in the registry and on our wiki

-Submit this new part to the iGEM Parts Registry

- iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, or intellectual property rights. Articulate at least one question encountered by your team, and describe how your team considered the(se) question(s) within your project. Include attributions to all experts and stakeholders consulted.

Bronze

- Team registration OK
- Complete Judging form OK
- Team WikiOK
- Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree OK
- The description of each project must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services OK
-Document at least one new standard BioBrickPart or Device used in the project to the project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry OK
