"Sic Parvis Magna" was our motto for this year. It is a Latin quote that means greatness from small beginnings. When we started this year's journey, we aimed for the moon so that even if we miss, we still get the stars. We pushed ourselves to the limits and even further to reach our goals: gold medal, and special prizes.
Competition Deliverables | Complete the following competition deliverables: Wiki, Project Promotion Video, Presentation Video, Judging Form, and Judging Session. | We presented our project in the promotion video, and we have provided a comprehensive description of the project on the wiki pages. Furthermore, we included links to all the relevant pages in our judging form to demonstrate why we are eligible for the medals and awards. | Find our promotion video here: AFCM-Egypt 2024 project promotion video Our presentation video will be on the iGEM platform after the Wiki freeze. |
