Click here Apply for mentorship for your team, or apply to be a team mentor, through the After iGEM Mentorship ProgramThe first round of applications closes April 16As iGEMers, we have had our share of less-than-ideal experiences such as summer projects being too ambitious to finish, BioBrick parts not working (or even going into plasmids backwards!), and team wikis being unfinished until the very last second. iGEM is all about working together to make biology fun and easy to engineer, and we hope that this voluntary nonofficial Mentorship Program will bring new teams and alumni together and enable everyone to meet their goals for iGEM 2021. Direct Link: https://2021.igem.org/Teams/Mentorship Does your team need a mentor?This program is a good fit for teams who would like to better understand the iGEM Competition through an experienced iGEM Mentor. Covering the basics from competition deliverables to important deadlines, while also adding the mentor’s own tips and professional experience to the mix.

They will help their teams navigate the competition, and support their teams while they progress through notable dates and work towards deadlines.
