This year TP_CC-San Diego made the video, "How to Form an iGEM Team From Scratch", that focuses on how to make an iGEM team, or get a mentor, do research, and overcome some of the obstacles along the way (e.g. financial). The video provides various tips and advices to create and self-support and support a science team like iGEM, from the members of the team who previously were a part of iGEM. The purpose of the video is to propagate research to many schools through setting them up for iGEM. We have currently emailed this video along with an introduction to iGEM and an offer to guide interested students in the process of forming a team - to ___ schools in California . For the underprivileged ones, we offered them assistance in setting up a team or just getting the students into some sort of research. We hope to see new inspired teams from California, and hope to facilitate interested students’ pursuit for research and scientific discoveries.

This year our team is a collaboration between two neighbor schools - Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy. Lectures were done at Canyon Crest Academy, and laboratory works were done at Torrey Pines High School and then the Simpson Joseph Laboratory.
