Located in the Bay Area, Summit Shasta is a revolutionary school that prefers to encourage students to grow from their mistakes, rather than have students memorize meaningless facts. They push their students to seek out challenges and overcome them, thus the iGem team was born, with help they hope to achieve success in bringing their ideas to life. The team is part of Summit Shasta's first year being around, comprised entirely of eager Freshman. Perhaps one day they will revolutionize the world.[http://aslanbnguyen.wix.com/igem Click here for more!]

Project

Our iGEM project is to modify bacteria by creating plasmids in order to create a bacteria that detects carbon monoxide. Once they have detected the carbon monoxide, they will release red florescent protein (RFP), which makes the bacteria red, and easy to notice.

Notebook

Every Tuesday we meet to make progress on our iGEM project. On Thursdays we go to the lab at skyline collage and do laboratory work, at the end of our meetings we discuss the progress we have made, and research new information for our next meeting!

3A Assembly

The team had a blast using the 3A assembly kit. Although with some failures, the team moved on and created a successful transformation!

Results/Conclusions

Over the course of the year we have practiced with bacteria by making transformations and competent cells.

Safety

In the lab at skyline collage we are always supervised by Chris Vulpe (Professor at UC Berkeley), and Nicholas Kapp (Professor at Skyline College).

Although we rarely have lab coats.

Attributions

Who worked on what?

Human Practices

This CO sensor would be useful in many ways:

1. It would not require constant power, this means that you could use it in locations with easy access to power, such as third world countries, underground places/mines, portable/handheld, etc.

2.It would be small and compact, allowing for easy transportation, meaning it could be carried by people everywhere, providing constant protection.

3. It would create a smell, this means that deaf and blind people would be able to be aware of it, as well as allowing people with headphones or ear protection to sniff out CO. This Means that it would have many uses beyond the ordinary electric, roof-bound, carbon monoxide sensor.

Fun!

To have fun we poked fun at Will. To be frank his jokes are pretty bad. Who drops a terminator joke in the middle of a brainstorming session? Will McEachen of course, it wasn't even that good in the first place.
