Description

Interested in what opportunities arise when maker education and biotechnology merge? Apply for this unique summer bootcamp, and join the first pioneering group of teachers that is eager to experience the possibilities in our BioFabLab.

After teaching over 105 adults how to build their own biolab equipment in a makerspace, Waag Society now invites you to join a collaborative effort to make some of the educational materials suitable for kids. We will go through the complete cycle from design, construction, testing, using and sharing results for two essential devices: photospectrometer and a PCR thermocycler.

In a small group (max 5) participants, and under the guidance of experienced biohackers Pieter van Boheemen and Xiamyra Daal, you will spend 5 days in the Amsterdam Fablab and Waag Society’s Open Wetlab. The bootcamp will be taught in English.
