<p>The "Perfect Project Pitch" workshop was part of the second phase of workshops during the inaugural BFH meet-up, hosted at Bielefeld University. It was led by Madleine Mussgnug, a startup consultant at the Goethe University's entrepreneurship center in Frankfurt, Germany. Madleine studied International Management and Tourism and has extensive experience, including several years at the scale-up company Limehome. Currently, she also works as a freelance consultant specializing in online marketing, social media, and supporting individuals in becoming self-employed. </p>
<p>The workshop focused on the essential skills and strategies for delivering an effective project pitch, covering the following key areas: </p>
<ol>
<li> Crafting compelling narratives to present complex ideas clearly and engagingly, ensuring they remain memorable for the audience. </li>
<li> Structuring and organizing pitches to highlight critical elements such as innovation, market potential, and team strengths, thus communicating your message effectively. </li>
<li> Tailoring pitches to resonate with different target audiences, including investors and collaborators, making them adaptable and impactful. </li>
<li> Building confidence and mastering persuasive techniques to convincingly communicate the value of your project. </li>
<li> Utilizing creative and visually appealing pitch materials, with a focus on integrating visuals and data effectively to enhance the presentation. </li>
</ol>
<p>Madleine Mussgnug delivered these insights through a balanced mix of presentation and interactive discussions. She provided real-world examples and engaged the audience by prompting them to reflect on specific techniques, images, and stylistic choices. For instance, she demonstrated the strategic use of numbers and icons on slides, discussing how their size and placement can influence the viewer’s perception. By showing different slide constellations, she encouraged the audience to discuss their visual impact. The workshop concluded with a focus on the importance of networking. According to Mussgnug, knowing whom to approach and how to engage with them is key—this, she emphasized, is the essence of successful pitching. </p>
<p>We immediately put what we learned into practice in various areas, such as: </p>
<ul>
<li><b>Meet-up Münster Presentation:</b> We adopted a fresh, innovative approach when preparing for the Münster meet-up, integrating many of the techniques from the workshop. </li>
<li><b>Correspondence with Potential Partners and Sponsors: </b> Our communication became more targeted and effective, allowing us to build stronger connections with potential partners and sponsors. </li>
<li><b>Improved Steering Committee Communication:</b> We also saw a noticeable improvement in our interactions with the steering committee, using clearer and more persuasive messaging. </li>
</ul>
<p>In essence, the workshop not only enhanced our pitching skills but also significantly improved our overall communication strategies, enabling us to present our ideas with greater confidence and impact. </p>

<p>Michael Gröning, who has many years of experience in a range of multimedia disciplines, including 3D animation, video and cinematography, film and audio production, post-production, voiceover and media design, held the practical workshop on multimedia. Firstly, the significance of the Promotion Video was elucidated, and the paramount importance of the general external representation was clarified. Questions and tricks provided the participants a basis for finding ideas for their videos, which were combined with story and mood boards and the reasonable use of AI.</p>
<p>A wide-ranging overview of various camera shots, lighting techniques and transitions was presented to the participants, equipping them with a useful toolkit for the production of cinematographic videos. Illustrative graphics, such as the Exposure Triangle, helped them to experiment with professional camera settings on their mobile phones. Through the implementation of voice warm-up exercises, the workshop participants were able to gain insights into the preparation of voice-overs. An introduction to various microphones and audio editing software enabled them to learn how voice recording is converted to studio quality.</p>
<p>The participants were able to gain valuable practical insights into the world of multimedia and thus prepare themselves to produce breathtaking videos. </p>

Due to our collaboration with the Student Academy, we conducted the nanopore sequencing experiment and served as teachers, assisting in experiment preparation, execution, offering guidance, and answering questions. This role allowed us to teach the students about laboratory work, the critical aspects of conducting experiments, and essential safety considerations. The experiment involved isolating bacterial DNA, preparing samples for sequencing, and performing both sequencing and data analysis.
Since we presented our iGEM project PreCyse to them as well, the students were introduced to study-related projects like iGEM. They learned about the daily tasks, challenges, and responsibilities involved in iGEM through project discussions. Many students were captivated by the iGEM concept and expressed interest in participating during their future studies. They were particularly fascinated by the opportunity to develop real research projects, work independently in the lab, learn extensively about synthetic biology, and implement creative ideas while collaborating with an international team.</p>
<p> The Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) at Bielefeld University organizes the annual CeBiTec Student Academy for “Biotechnology and Biomedicine.” Supported by the Osthushenrich Foundation and the Detmold district government, the academy offers students a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of biology, genetics, and molecular biology through hands-on experiments and expert lectures. Key topics include nanopore sequencing, tumor diagnostics, and the evolution of SARS-CoV-2. The program is especially valuable for students transitioning from school to potential studies in the natural sciences.

<p>The glorious history of the iGEM team Bielefeld began in 2010 and marked its debut on the global stage
of synthetic biology. Since then, the teams were composed of over 160 enthusiastic students from various disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and engineering. Their initial project focused on the development of a biosensor for the measurement of spiciness in food, which resulted in the team being awarded a gold medal at the competition. Following this successful debut, the teams continued to evolve, both in size and expertise.
Over more than ten years, the iGEM Team Bielefeld-CeBiTec engaged in a multitude of projects, each pushing the boundaries of synthetic biology. The teams earned 13 gold medals and have achieved a ranking within the top 16 teams twice (2011, 2012). One of the most notable achievements was reached in 2013, when the iGEM Team Bielefeld won the European Jamboree, were the First Runner Up at the Giant Jamboree and secured several Track and Special Prizes. Their project “Ecolectricity” focused on creating a microbial fuel cell, by transforming E. coli into an electro-active bacterium and incorporating it into a fuel cell that provides an environmentally friendly alternative for generating electricity. Their innovative approach and careful execution impressed the jury and solidified the Bielefeld team's reputation in the iGEM community. In acknowledgment of the pivotal role played by the Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec) in the team’s success since the beginning, the name of the team was officially changed to Bielefeld-CeBiTec in 2014. This change highlighted the close collaboration between the team and the research center, thereby underscoring the importance of institutional support in advancing scientific research and education related to the iGEM competition.
In recent years, the teams continued to pursue innovative avenues of enquiry. Their projects ranged from developing biological systems for medical applications to creating sustainable solutions for industrial and environmental challenges. For instance, in 2018, the project "nanoFactory" aimed to scavenge heavy metal ions using optimized E. coli cells to accumulate heavy metal ions inside the cytoplasm addressing the issue of increasing scarcity of metal resources due to global consumption of electronics.
In the previous year, the iGEM team Bielefeld-CeBiTec developed a platform for diagnosis and therapy of brain tumors called "ASTERISK". The team focusing on a modular genetic system to target gliomas by designing mRNA molecules that, upon detection of a tumor-specific mutation or amplification, lead to the translation of a toxic protein that selectively kills cancer cells without harming healthy cells. This innovative approach is a perfect example of how synthetic biology can be used to improve the specificity and efficacy of medical treatments, providing valuable tools to the iGEM community.
A significant aspect of iGEM Bielefeld-CeBiTec’s success has been their emphasis on collaboration and community engagement. The team regularly collaborates with other iGEM teams, institutions, companies, and scientists sharing knowledge and resources. They also engage with the local community through outreach programs and workshops.
The history of iGEM Bielefeld is a story of motivation, dedication, and scientific curiosity. From their early beginnings to their current endeavors, the team has consistently demonstrated the power of synthetic biology to tackle complex global challenges. As they continue to participate in the iGEM competition, they remain to demonstrate innovation and collaboration within the scientific community. </p>

implementation: "The most important thing was that both Katrin and the parents agreed that the children were able to inhale at an early age and that there were generally no physical problems with inhalation in general. This reinforced our decision to work towards delivery by inhalation. It was very interesting to see the different ways children deal with their exercises and hear about the progress they made. ",

<strong>Robin (>10)</strong>
<strong>Robin (&gt;10)</strong>
<p>Robin will soon start 4th grade and takes modulators. Since taking them, many problems have subsided. No regular pneumonia with long hospital stays and the mucus comes out easier. Nevertheless, Robin still goes to physiotherapy regularly to do manual breathing therapy to get the mucus out. Katrin tells us how the mucus changes color the longer it stays in the lungs. The new mucus is white, and the older mucus gets yellow first and then gets darker with time until it reaches a black color. Nowadays, Robin rarely has dark mucus or clumps, but we can still hear the rustling as Katrin starts the autogenous drainage (Autogene Drainage) by pressing on Robin's chest. The goal is to get out the mucus deep in the lungs. To do that, Robin must repeat the routine – breathing in deeply, holding, breathing out – multiple times and then cough and spit the mucus out. Sometimes it works, but other times the mucus does not come out easily. While according to Katrin the autogenous drainage is the gold standard, they do other useful exercises, too. For example, pressing the Vojta points (which the children call “the magic points”) on the chest to activate a deep breathing reflex and get air into parts of the lungs that may not have been used previously. Or physical activity such as climbing a few steps on a climbing ladder and hanging on it to stretch the thorax muscles.</p>

<strong>Sam (<10) & Alex (<10)</strong>
<strong>Sam (&lt;10) & Alex (&lt;10)</strong>
<p>Sam and Alex are siblings and do not have CF but another affliction that causes a persistent cough. They come together with a parent twice a week and do hanging exercises from the ceiling, nasal showers with needleless syringes, and the “magic points.” Katrin also checks their lungs for mucus in a similar manner to autogenous drainage. We, too, tried to do the nasal shower, and being a grown-up really does not guarantee being able to do that properly! This highlighted that the children know all their exercises by heart at a young age. On request, their parent told us that the physiotherapy made a big difference for both of them.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Toni (<5)</strong>
<strong>Toni (&lt;5)</strong>
<p>Toni has a light version of CF and has been doing physiotherapy with Katrin since shortly after birth. In contrast to most children we met or talked about, Toni refuses medication. Modulators are a possibility, but them and 'everything stinky' is a no-go, even though inhaling would be very beneficial due to the mucus buildup. Most exercises result in crying and screaming, which is very exhausting for the child. Due to the light nature of Toni's variant, they are not in danger, but a permanent therapy would be very beneficial.</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Chrissi (>10)</strong>
<strong>Chrissi (&gt;10)</strong>
<p>Chrissi takes modulators and will soon take a trip to a water park with some friends. Katrin teaches us that when the children do not breathe out properly, air stays in the lungs and causes hyperinflation – with which it is actually harder to float in water! After the manual drainage, Katrin gets all of us glasses with water and dish soap and straws. Blowing bubbles is a playful way to train how to properly breathe out by either trying to blow bubbles as long as possible or trying to make an existing bubble as big as possible!</p>
