Teach the Teachers 2006 Seminars
There are two Teachers Workshops taking place in 2006. The first took place on May 6, 2006 at MIT and the second will take place on June 12, 2006 at [http://www.imperial.ac.uk/ Imperial College].
New instructors who did not attend the May 6th workshop at MIT are required to attend. Experienced instructors -- ie. those that have participated in iGEM in previous years -- are also encouraged to attend. The workshop will describe the philosophical foundations of the iGEM program, describe the requirements and expectations for participation in 2006, and introduce the resources available to the participating teams. The workshop also provides an opportunity to meet the iGEM organizers, tour the laboratory operations that support the competition, socialize with other iGEM team leaders, and gather information and materials for a successful year.
