Finalist: All our hard work paid off with a spot in the top 6 of the 118 international teams!
Presentation: Gave our presentation twice, and with success! We were awarded with the prize for best presentation!
Gold Medal: Received a gold medal for all the BioBricks we made and characterized, our extensive human practice program and our modeling and software efforts.

Build 47 new BioBricks.
Characterized 10 parts, they all work!
