TO BRING ARTISTS, DESIGNERS AND BIOLOGISTS TOGETHER TO PRODUCE COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT THE SPRING OUR ORGANIZERS WORK WITH UNIVERSITY INSTRUCTORS TO DESIGN CURRICULA, PARTNER WITH SCIENTISTS, AND MENTOR STUDENTS AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR PROJECTS. EVERY JUNE, THE TEAMS, INCLUDING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONAL SCIENTISTS, GATHER AT OUR CONFERENCE TO SHOWCASE PROJECTS BEFORE ESTEEMED JUDGES AND AUDIENCES FROM ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AND MUSEUMS TO SHOWCASE THEIR INNOVATIVE IDEAS. TEAMS PROTOTYPE NEW IDEAS IN MEDICINE, TEXTILES, BEAUTY, FOOD, MANUFACTURING, AND MORE. BIODESIGN CHALLENGE BRIDGES ART, DESIGN, AND BIOTECH TO HELP DEVELOP THE FIRST GENERATION OF PROFESSIONALS THAT CROSS DISCIPLINES, ANTICIPATE PROMISES AND PITFALLS, AND ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN DIALOGUE ABOUT THE BROADER IMPLICATIONS OF EMERGING BIOTECH. AS PART OF OUR SUPPORT FOR PARTICIPANTS, WE CONNECT TEAMS WITH OPPORTUNITIES WITH MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, INVESTORS, AND ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS. THROUGH THESE CONNECTIONS PROJECTS HAVE BOTH EVOLVED INTO STARTUP COMPANIES AND EXHIBITS AT VENUES AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL, MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, DUTCH DESIGN WEEK, NYCXDESIGN, MIT MEDIA LAB, TECH MUSEUM OF INNOVATION, RISD BIODESIGN EXHIBITION, FIT MUSEUM, THE GREGG, AMONG OTHERS. TEAMS HAVE ALSO GONE ON TO WIN PRESTIGIOUS PRIZES LIKE THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHASING GENIUS AWARD AND INTERNATIONAL BIOART AND DESIGN AWARD.
