Saturday Science Fairs

Sesh Per Ankh • Biofabrication • 3D Design • Materials Science • Smart Inks

Saturday Science Fairs are weekly hands-on technical sessions where members explore modern biotechnology, automation, data science, and experimental design. These are designed like mini research labs, focusing on applied science, engineering practice, and multidisciplinary problem-solving.

It’s a space for scientists, engineers, tinkerers, and technical learners to build, test, and analyze in an open, collaborative environment.

What Happens Each Saturday
• 🧪 Live demonstrations (tools, workflows, pipelines)
• 🔬 Group experiments or modeling sessions
• 📊 Data science breakout rooms (KNIME, ArcGIS, GIS, bioinformatics)
• 🤖 Prototyping & automation challenges
• 📚 Journal club & research review
• 🧩 Mini science competitions

Outcome

Participants walk away with:
• new technical skills
• hands-on experience with real tools
• progress on personal or group science projects
• portfolio pieces and reproducible workflows

It’s a community research lab without the lab—
a space to learn, test, create, and grow alongside other driven people.

Come with an idea or come to learn.
Either way, you leave with progress.
