Empire State Maker Faire 2020

That’s a wrap!

Huge thanks to all of the makers who inspired us, gave us tours of their spaces, demoed their projects, taught us new skills, and invited us into their communities.

We would additionally like to thank all of our volunteers who have helped moderate all of our sessions, our host organizations for their continued support, our friends at Maker Faire and Make: Magazine who have gone above and beyond in supporting the Empire State Maker Faire, and everyone who was able to join us in celebrating makers from all over New York State and beyond.

Genspace – BioMaker Lab Tour

Genspace is a community biology laboratory, sometimes called a biomaker lab or a biohacker space, in South Brooklyn, New York where anyone can learn the fundamental scientific concepts and lab skills they need to meaningfully engage with the life sciences — including biology, biotechnology, microbiology, genetics, and related subjects. Biomakers are scientists, artists, designers, and entrepreneurs, and in our lab they hack lab gear, create new sustainable biomaterials, and explore the ethical and social issues of emerging global technologies. In this session, you’ll get a tour of the Genspace lab, see objects, materials, and technology that Genspace members have made. We’ll talk about the minimal gear you need to get started with basic biotechnology experiments, and the types of organisms that are easy-to-grow and safe to use in a wide range of settings.
