Science Make-a-thon

This event is part of Open Technology Week (https://www.synbio.cam.ac.uk/initiatives/Open_Technology_Week) and follows the Open Technology Workshop and Biomaker Fayre (https://www.meetup.com/Cambridge-Synthetic-Biology-Meetup/events/243915243/) on Sat 21 Oct.

The advance of open source software, open hardware systems such as Arduino, alongside 3D printing technologies and open biological tools, is boosting a maker ethos in science. Come along and try your hand at solving design challenges using open source technologies.

This Meetup is a free-form version of the monthly Science Makers gathering. It's a chance to:

• Work on projects with the Biomaker Challenge teams.

• Find out about a range of projects in low-cost equipment for molecular biology and imaging, see how internet of things technology is making it easier than ever before to connect equipment together and operate it remotely.

• Build equipment for the Biomakespace (https://biomake.space/), a fledgling community lab for biology and engineering being established at the Biomedical Campus.

Projects planned for the day include:

• Low cost transilluminator

• 3D-printed pipette

• Spectrophotometer

• Tidy lab boxes for consumables

• Anything you would like to work on!

We have a bunch of sensors, Arduinos, Raspberry Pis and more to play with - no experience required, just an interest and willingness to have a go and a great chance to learn a little bit about electronics and coding in a friendly environment.
