Starting up

In March we started with brainstorms once a week. During these metings we decided on a project. We had a lot of different ideas. In May we decided to focus on three of the ideas we had:

Using flagellar rotation of Bacteria to make a pump of liquid inside a tube.
Making E. coli have a memory of events, like light inputs.
Make a cellular automata in E. coli and use it to make games or the game of life.

The first idea was hard to make in the 2 or 3 months we had. Here we needed to have bacteria attach to a surface and also have the same orientation in order to have the movement of liquid in the same direction. This topic would probably take us longer than 3 months, so we decided not to move on with it.
