Join Kiewit Luminarium and Metropolitan Community College for our workshop series: BioDiscovery Lab! Inspired by MCC’s new Biotechnology program, these hands-on workshops explore the exciting world of biotechnology. Biotechnology uses living organisms to create products that benefit health, agriculture, and the environment. Blending biology, design, and technology, this activity sparks curiosity and creativity in STEM.
In this hands-on biodesign activity, visitors ages 8 and up will explore the fascinating world of biodegradable polymers derived from seaweed. Using alginate, a natural polymer found in large brown algae like kelp, participants mix a custom algae gel and transform it into colorful, squishy strings through a chemical reaction in a calcium bath.
