This notebook summarizes our work throughout the summer.

April's summary: The beginning of the project! We researched previous iGEM competitions and defined some ideas for our project. We voted for our favorite, taking in account every single characteristic the competition requires and the complexity of the idea.

April 2nd (Students’ investigation and presentation of previous iGEM projects Several previous iGEM projects were investigated and presented by members of the team. The idea behind this was to familiarize with the kind of projects previously presented. Brainstorming This activity was performed by all the members of the group. We came up with several ideas, some quite unfeasible, but nevertheless it was fun. Here are some of the ideas: Bacteria capable of detecting diseases Gas receptor Sensing mood Billboards with bacterias Reacting to sounds Swimming control Motion sensors Storing information and retreiving it afterwards Solving mazes Sensing alergens in foods Sounds + Light Invisible Ink Degrading Tires Making food starting with something unedible Calculator Degrading detergents Writing from a distance Removing oxide Removing stains from clothing
