Course website: https://nestmakerspacebdc2021.weebly.com/This program engaged youth in the Salinas area of California in creative biodesign, frugal science tool design, and sustainability design addressing community needs. Teens will draw upon their cultural and community knowledge as they explore sustainable bio-grown materials and imagine sustainable systems serving community needs they identify.
Each team will develop a project solution concept to present at the International Biodesign Challenge. Along the way, they grew biomaterials and develop a range of prototypes and engage with kits that provide them with resources for their explorations.
Program sponsored by the BioDesign Challenge.
