About this Event
Traditional laboratory techniques utilized by scientists to study the world on both a macroscopic and microscopic scale can also be used to create unique works of art. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn multiple techniques to create unique imageries by “painting” with harmless microbes that express colorful proteins as pigment. Pictures of Agar Art created in this workshop are eligible to enter the American Society of Microbiology’s Agar Art 2023 contest! (https://www.asm.org/index.php/public-outreach/agar-art)
In this session, participants will:
• create Agar Art using genetically engineered bacteria;
• gain an appreciation for the components of “BioArt” from both scientific and artistic perspectives.”
Ages 10-13, one adult chaperone required. Chaperones must purchase a ticket and fully participate in all class activities.
