uLeth iGEM at Mindfuel last weekend getting the Runner Up Award!!! 🥳

Here's a little post of our awesome trip to the TFC Prototype Challenge where we won the Runner Up Award! 🎉🎉🎉

Huge shout out and thank you to #.ca and for continuing this amazing program and allowing us to compete! Big congrats to all the other teams as well, we loved meeting all of you and learning about your amazing work!

And that's a wrap for the Winter 2026 semester!! Woo hoo, we made it (barely). We just wanted to make a little recap of some of the last shenanigans of the semester, such as building the Stink Tickler V.1, getting The Dribbler to work, and avoiding schoolwork as per usual.
We also attended the FLARE symposium at the University of Lethbridge, which was awesome! Huge shoutout to .uofl for doing amazing work!
Lastly, a few of our amazing team members, Tarlan and Matthew, graduated this semester (heck yeah!), and so they'll be moving up as Advisors in our team. Big congrats to them as they finish this chapter in their lives 🥳.
But don't worry, iGEM is only going to get crazier over the summer, and we'll be sharing the wild time with you all!

A few members of our team had an incredible time at the Lethbridge Agriculture and Agri-Food Field Day!🚜

We toured high-tech greenhouses, learned about water testing with mass spectrometry, and enjoyed a crop tour🌾

Learning about the history and ongoing innovations at the Research Station was truly inspiring, and is motivating us in our project✨
