Biomaking & BiohackingBiomaking - Making with Biology
• Grow materials out of fungus, bacteria, and other organisms
• Students learn about the invisible living world around us• Connections to global cultures that make, eat, and use
materials that might seem “yucky”• Understand global ecological issues• Accessible now
Biohacking - Biology Making
• Synthetic biology• Design with biological materials, including manipulating
genetics• Students learn how biology is another tool for design. • Connect to cutting edge real-world research and
applications: new drugs, bacteria that detect chemicals, smart materials, programmable bio-organisms
• For brave pioneers
Fungus “monster” pots

Starting Biomaking1. Mycelium fungus. The root structure of fungus can be
coaxed to grow into a wide variety of shapes and properties from flexible leather-like to styrofoam to wood-like and more.
2. Kombucha leather. Bacterial cellulose sheets of leather-like material that are grown by creating a culture of bacteria and yeast in kombucha (fermented tea).
3. Bioplastics. Easy to use materials like agar (red algae) or chitin (crustacean and insect shells) can mimic plastic material.

Growing options• Buy prepared mycelium incubated bark
material. Costs $$ but less chance of contamination.
• Grow your own mycelium using mushrooms and cardboard. Or buy pre-packaged spores.
• Add mycelium to bark, coffee grounds, ramen, or other material to grow into building material. (Note: this material must be sterilized with a pressure cooker, autoclave, or pasteurized with a crockpot)
• Collect data and experiment with growing conditions
• BSL 1 Lab protocols - found in most high school bio labs.

BIOPLASTICS“The world has produced over nine billion tons of plastic since the 1950s. 165 million tons of it have trashed our ocean, with almost 9 million more tons entering the oceans each year. Since only about 9 percent of plastic gets recycled, much of the rest pollutes the environment or sits in landfills, where it can take up to 500 years to decompose while leaching toxic chemicals into the ground.”

Best materials for classrooms for bioplastics investigations
• Agar (agar agar) - Red algae. Used in Japanese cooking, petri dishes.
• Chitosan - made from chitin (mainly shrimp & crab shells). Used as a natural bio-pesticide, water filter, bioadhesive, wound dressing.
• Gelatin plastic - easy to source and make (but is an animal product).

Classroom friendly bioplastic recipe
• Agar agar, glycerin, water• Dried agar agar bars can be
purchased at Japanese markets • Powdered agar can be purchased
from a scientific supply online stores like Carolina Biological Supply Co carolina.com
• Cook, cool, and pour into sheets or shallow molds
• Dry 1-2 days

Synthetic biology
• We can design building blocks of life, combine and remix them
• DNA can now be fabricated, genetics altered to create desired characteristics
• Don’t have to wait for evolution
• Design microbes that generate cheap alternative energy, attack tumors, deliver medicine, detect fertilizer runoff in drinking water, reveal the location of land mines…

Iterative Biological Design• Identify new genetic
modifications that have desirable characteristics - like glow in the presence of pesticides
• Computer models generate DNA sequences
• Assemble DNA molecules from synthesized building blocks
• Test in living cells and compare to simulated predictions

Outcomes• Extend projects over time, integrate with other ongoing
projects. Growing things takes time
• Teach students to slow down
• Improve observation skills
• Improve relationship with natural world - especially “icky” things
• STEAM - artistic use of materials, cultural connections, ecology, concern about environment
• Encourage young people that the problems of the world can be solved - by them
