Biomaterials 101 for Designers

Home: California, United States

We are the Biogirls! Trying to create a Bioworld! Our project aims to create an exploration kit for novice designers looking to learn more about crafted biomaterials and biopolymers. We guide you through hands-on experiments that explore the novel properties and affordances of biomaterials with instructions, materials and simple tools. The kit not only teaches basic techniques but also inspires new possibilities by showing how biomaterials can be uniquely designed for functional purposes by leveraging its degradability, texture, and tunable properties.
