About the event

So you want to be a Scientist?
Bio-Awesome Builders: Make Your Own Eco-Toys with scientist, Vanya Paralanov, a Molecular and Cell Biologist and Director of CELLS. Inc a Makerspace located in Frederick MD.

Get ready for an exciting and interactive program all about biomaterials — earth-friendly, sustainable alternatives to everyday stuff!

You'll explore cool new materials like:

Leather made from yeast and bacteria (no animals needed!).
Mushroom roots (mycelium) that can become packaging and even fire-proof insulation.
Dyes made by tiny bacteria that are super colorful.​
Plus, you'll get to make your very own toy from a special material made of seaweed. When you're done playing, just compost it or bury it, and it will disappear back into the earth!

Come discover how scientists are building a greener planet, one amazing biomaterial at a time!
