Be sure to join us for the Team Leader meeting on SecondLife later in April!

SecondLife is a program that allows users to interact in a virtual environment! iGEM HS will be using it this year to host a virtual Jamboree in sync with the physical Jamboree in Indianapolis. In preparation for the virtual Jamboree, here is a quick tutorial and some FAQs for SecondLife.

First and foremost, SecondLife requires a separate viewer program, which can be downloaded from their website here.

In order to successfully use the program, computers must meet the minimum system requirements which are listed on their site. Computers which do not meet these requirements will not be able to run the SecondLife program. We highly recommend a wired internet connection, either cable or DSL. Wireless connections can be used but tend to be less reliable (takes longer to teleport, load the worlds, etc.).
