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 https://t.co/lw9zyM6tKe 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?

BioBuilder (@SystemsSally) is looking for mentors for BioBuilder Club to support & guide high-school students as they develop projects applying biotechnology for the "Final Assembly" conference.

It goes on to show how different teams take different "after" iGEM routes to continue making an impact.
