 Bronze. 
 Your team must convince the judges you have achieved the following 6 goals: 
 Register for iGEM, have a great summer, and attend the Giant Jamboree.
 Complete the Judging form.
 Create a Team Wiki.
 Present a poster and a talk at the iGEM Jamboree. See the 2015 poster guidelines for more information.
 Create a page on your team wiki with clear attribution of each aspect of your project. This page must clearly attribute work done by the students and distinguish it from work done by others, including host labs, advisors, instructors, sponsors, professional website designers, artists, and commercial services.
 Interact with your community by creating an engaging activity that showcases iGEM, synthetic biology and community labs. This activity could involve teaching a class to your community, running a public forum to promote the discussion of synthetic biology, or another activity.
 Silver:
 In addition to the Bronze Medal requirements, your team must convince the judges you have achieved the following 3 goals:
 Help any registered iGEM team from a high-school, different track, another university or institution by, for example, mentoring a new team, characterizing a part, debugging a construct, modeling/simulating their system or helping validate a software/hardware solution to a synbio problem.
 Demonstrate a functional prototype of your project OR a substantial improvement on a previous iGEM project. You can work on a previous project by your team or by another team. Show this system working under real-world conditions (biological materials may not be taken outside the lab).
 iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. Demonstrate how your team has identified, investigated and addressed one or more of these issues in the context of your project. Your activity could center around education, public engagement, public policy issues, public perception or other activities (See the human practices hub for more information and examples of previous teams exemplary work).
 Gold: 
 In addition to the Bronze and Silver Medal requirements, your team must convince the judges you have achieved at least two of the following goals: 
 iGEM projects involve important questions beyond the bench, for example relating to (but not limited to) ethics, sustainability, social justice, safety, security, and intellectual property rights. Expand on your silver medal activity by demonstrating how you have integrated the investigated issues into the design and/or execution of your project OR demonstrate an innovative human practices activity that relates to your project (this typically involves educational, public engagement, and/or public perception activities; see the human practices hub for information and examples of previous teams comprehensive and innovative activities).
 Document at least one new standard BioBrick Part or Device central to your project and submit this part to the iGEM Registry (submissions must adhere to the iGEM Registry guidelines). You may also document a new application of a BioBrick part from a previous iGEM year, adding that documentation to the part main page.
 Interact with your community by creating an engaging activity that showcases iGEM, synthetic biology and community labs. This activity could involve teaching a class to your community, running a public forumform to promote the discussion of synthetic biology, or another activity. Take the activity you came up with for your bronze medal and create a video showing how you interacted with your community.
 Experimentally validate that at least one new BioBrick Part or Device of your own design and construction works as expected. Document the characterization of this part in the Main Page section of that Part’s/Device’s Registry entry. This working part must be different to the part documented in gold medal criteria #2.
