Ever wanted to create your own eco-friendly paper, plastic, or even animal-free leather? Now you can! In this immersive workshop, you’ll collaborate with living microbes—the same tiny organisms that make kombucha—to grow your own unique biomaterial at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll discover how yeast and bacteria work together to form sustainable materials that you can transform into creative, one-of-a-kind projects. Join us and explore the future of biofabrication—where science meets creativity!

This workshop is part of the BioDiscovery Lab series from Kiewit Luminarium and Metropolitan Community College. These hands-on workshops explore the exciting world of biotechnology. Biotechnology uses living organisms to create products that benefit health, agriculture, and the environment. Blending biology, design, and technology, this activity sparks curiosity and creativity in STEM.
