Motivated by the lack of outlets for students to explore their passions in biological research, including pre-medicinal studies, students from Montgomery High School created their own iGEM team. Because many students are under the impression that science is little more than engineering fields such as electrical and mechanical building, we strive to strike down these preconceived notions, allowing students to further their interests in scientific research. The implementation of this program at our school facilitates the process of creating the next generation of doctors, biomedical engineers and innovators in science. With the introduction of iGEM into Montgomery's extracurricular community, the possibility of achieving these goals is greatly increased.

Safety is a primary goal for our iGEM team. To ensure that everyone working on experiments follow all safety precautions, we developed a number of safety presentations about a number of topics such as personal protective equipment, aseptic technique, and laboratory practice. Finally, we ensured comprehension by administering a safety exam for all R&D members.

Montgomery iGEM

Motivated by the lack of outlets for students to explore their passions for biological research, students from Montgomery High School created their own iGEM team in the 2013-2014 academic year to gain firsthand experience in synthetic biology. While the beginning of the season presented numerous obstacles, Montgomery iGEM has developed into a successful club with over 30 active members who are all motivated by the endless possibilities that scientific innovation presents.

Our club stemmed from a desire to provide students with hands-on laboratory experience. While popular clubs in our school such as Robotics and Science Olympiad provide great opportunities for students to explore and learn about new fields of science and engineering, students previously did not have the opportunity to engage in wet laboratory practices. We created this team to provide students with a firsthand look into the strikingly innovative field of synthetic biology and an opportunity to innovate. We strive to further student interest in science and increase students' exposure to fields that they might not have explored otherwise. Our iGEM program is creating the next generation of doctors, biomedical engineers and innovators, a generation with a genuine desire to help make the world a better place.
