It would be nice to collaborate with other fabricademy students with similar projects and try to replicate or upgrade the collection with local resources or different materials.

Biomaterials and electronics can seem opposite fields to the people in each field, but you're bridging them and maybe can tell a story around that, that can help you frame the techniques, or why you choose them :) / (And I was going to recommend Marija's and Jessica's projects, but they are already in your presentation!) | +| Marion | The children's is very cute.Have you thought about making an experimental kit with a cookbook for testing bio-materials? | +| Hala | I was personally looking for an easy to follow one myself when we were doing our e-textiles week and I think it would be great for the Fabricademy community as well as your end users! | +| Stephanie J | Fantastic idea Asli! I think this is a very useful and informative idea that can make electronics and bio materials more interactive and accessible.
