Brandon

I am in grade 10 at Winston Churchill High School. I enjoy videogames, watching movies, designing shirts, practicing karate and attempt to code/script RPG games. When I’m not doing school work or anything thing for IGEM I am either in my basement watching movies/television while on my computer playing games or I am practicing karate. I am a black belt in karate and have been practicing for almost 9 years. I joined IGEM because I thought it would be a nice experience to see synthetic biology and learn about it. I was thinking about going into a career in science being in Chemistry, Biology or Biochemistry.

Christina

My name is Christina Kong and I am a Grade 12 student who goes to Catholic Central High School. I became interested in iGEM because it is revolves around science and learning which I find enjoyable. I particularly enjoy the lab work portion of iGEM because it's a very hands-on aspect of the competition and I am more of a kinesthetic learner as well. I enjoy math as it is consistent and logical; there's little room for the grey answers, and you can always find a definite solution to the problem. My favorite activities would be playing badminton and exercising.

The practice of writing paragraphs is essential to good writing. Paragraphs help to break up large chunks of text and makes the content easier for readers to digest. However, knowing how to write a good, well-structured paragraph can be little tricky. Read the guidelines below and learn how to take your paragraph writing skills from good to great!

Dinula

I am a grade 10 student at Winston Churchill High School. I enjoy programming apps and games, reading science articles, playing the guitar, playing video games, and watching movies. When I’m not stuck indoors, I like going running and biking. I joined iGEM because the feats of synthetic biology fascinated me and I wanted to learn more about the processes involved. I additionally wanted to develop my computer programming skills through activity

Hope

My name is Hope. I am 17 years old and am enrolled in my final year at Chinook High School. I will be attending the University of Lethbridge this fall where I will major in Biochemistry and minor in French. In my spare time i love to run, crochet and read. I am also an avid Harry Potter fan

Hope

Alcohol and calculus don't mix. Never drink and derive.

Krista

My name is Krista Fjordbotten, and I am a grade 12 student at Chinook High School. I joined high school iGEM because I felt it would help me gain knowledge about the field of synthetic biology and lab work in general, as I have great interest in the sciences. Next year I plan to attend the University of Lethbridge doing an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience. Outside of iGEM, I enjoy reading, hiking and boating.

I wish I were adenine because then I could get paired with U.

McKailyn

My name is McKailyn Ives, I am currently in grade eleven at Winston Churchill High School. Prior to joining the iGEM team I had little knowledge of synthetic biology but this experience has taught me a lot and I know it will benefit me in my future. I enjoy being apart of a program that sets goals to improve the world and community for the better. In my spare time I like to play basketball and rugby. I hope to make a career out of Humanitarian Aid when I'm older because I love to help people.

Once I made a Chemistry joke... but there was no reaction.

Peter

Hi! My name is Peter Quo! Pleasure to meet ypu, I am a connoisseur of living and thus I like all aspects of life. Favorite pastimes range from archery to horology. I joined iGEM because I wanted to learn synthetic biology and wanted the growing science fields to be apart of my future. Also meeting like minded people is always a plus.

Peter

Are your eyes an event horizon? ... because they suck me right in.

Ronja

I’m Ronja Kothe, a Grade 10 Student of Winston Churchill High School in Lethbridge. I play classical guitar and clarinet. My favourite subjects in school are math and science. I am very interested in biology and I thought that iGEM would provide me with an exciting new opportunity to learn more about synthetic biology in a hands-on environment. It has been totally worth it! My favourite part is working in the lab. After High School, I would like to tackle the sciences; right now virology seems like an interesting career path for me. On a side note, I moved to Canada from Germany 8 years ago; “Auf Wiedersehn!”

Ronja

Roya

My name is Roya Akbary and I am a grade 11 student at Winston Churchill High School. I have always had a passion for science especially biology! I enjoy iGEM because I love being a part of a team of people who have similar interests as me. After high school, I would love to pursue a career in health care. I am currently volunteering at the hospital which I am really enjoying. I also play the piano, the French horn, and am a freelance shower singer. Additionally, I like acting in school plays and watching movies especially musicals.

Roya

Are you made of copper and tellurium? 'Cause you're CuTe!

Sally

My name is Sally Xu and I am in Grade 11 at Winston Churchill High School. I really enjoy chemistry and biology in school which is why I joined the iGem program. I believed it would be a great experience to work in labs and synthesize a project that our team came up with. Another aspect that i am interested in is computer programming. I plan to take a major part in the coding of our iGem wiki.

Sally

Is your sine pi/2? Because baby, you’re the 1

Sunny

My name is Sunny Sun and I am a grade 11 student at Winston Churchill High School. In my free time I like to read, play the piano, sketch, paint and spend time with my family. I became a member of this iGem team initially because of my interest in the sciences, however this experience has provided me with valuable knowledge and great hands-on activities far exceeding basic textbook materials. My favourite part of iGem is working in the labs among peers and conducting real experiments that hold real life applications. In the future, I hope to pursue a career in medical research and further broaden my knowledge of science.

Tiffany D

Heyos mayos! I’m Tiffany Dang, I am a grade eleven student at Winston Churchill High School. I love to be active and play sports –rugby, badminton, tennis, and rock climbing. If I’m not outside you can find me with my nose in a book or surfing the internet looking for something new to learn. I joined iGem because I found the field intriguing as it has many applications to everyday life. I also love working in a laboratory setting outside of school and trying to find a solutions to problems we encounter. After high school? I plan to do something in the field of science where I can work in a lab and help people simultaneously –a biomedical engineer.

Tiffany D

You're so hot, you denature my proteins! ;)

Tiffany T

My name is Tiffany Trinh. I am a grade 11 student at Winston Churchill High School. I joined iGEM because, science is one of my favourite subjects and I am really interested in learning new things. I’ve learned a lot from iGEM like the use of equipment, methods and operations inside the laboratory, and what synthetic biology is all about. Utilizing the knowledge that I learned through iGEM, I hope to continue my studies in the field of science. Some of my hobbies are playing badminton, playing piano and making crafts. One day I hope to look back and see iGEM as the stepping stone to my career of choice.

Hey! My name is Chris and I like to do things! Have you ever wondered what your eyes do when you're asleep? Weird right? Yeah, weird. Anyways, I do science and philosophy. Stay in school!

Yoyo

Hello! I am a student at the University of Lethbridge currently finishing first year in the Chemistry program. As a previous high school student I was enthralled by iGEM mostly by the interesting projects past teams have created (I’m looking at you, BactoBlood). Back now as an advisor; I want to be able to give other High School students the same opportunity I was given, that is, to be able to work in a university lab. I hope to one day pursue a career in the medical field, though the specifics are yet to be determined. In my spare time I enjoy video games, watching TV, and exercise, and of course spending time with fiends.

I was gonna write a Chemistry joke, but all the good ones argon.

Wesley
