Fungal bioprinting (adult course for ages 18 and up)
Baltimore Under Ground Science Space, 101 N Haven St #105, Baltimore, MD, USGet creative with 3D printing using fungi in this hands-on class for adults!
Join us for a hands-on course all about fungal bioprinting. In collaboration with the FunGuyLab (FunguyLab), you'll get to explore how we can shape living materials through bioprinting techniques. This is a great chance to dive into the science of fungi and see how they’re being used beyond the usual mushroom stuff.
Perfect for ages 18 and up, this event gives you a chance to get creative with biology and technology combined. We'll build a bioprinter and explore different living substrates such as fungi (mycelium) and slime molds. Come learn how to bring these cool materials to life in new forms!Note: this class meets on both Oct 10th and Oct 17th from 9AM-noon with different material on each day. Your ticket covers both days.
