The Biodesign Challenge seminar has just finished its first time running in the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment. Two teams were able to present their projects in front of HBBE members and tutors last week where one was selected to go to the main competition in New York, where the Summit would under normal circumstances be held.
The two teams both conveyed the depth to which they had engaged in this new area of biotechnology in different ways. The mission of team Culina was to recreate the idea of the kitchen, designing biotechnological solutions for a future of self-sustenance. Team Volteria aimed to ‘bio-energize the world’ by enabling surfaces, in a newly imagined world, to have the potential to produce living energy. They also wanted to highlight the notion of habitation in symbiosis with these microbes as part of society.
Culina project was select to compete in the Biodesign Challenge Summit which will be broadcasted online over 4 days, where 45 finalist teams from around the world will showcase their projects before an esteemed panel of judges from academia, the arts, & industry.
Culina will be presenting June 16 at 3:15pm (BST).
