Description

Hackteria BioLab // Create Your World

The Hackteria BioLab introduces the world of microorganisms to children (age 7-10). Using a hacked microscope as the focal point, the participants will be introduced to microscopy, culturing living organisms and building simple tools to engage with the microscopic and the natural world around them. At the end of the workshop they will be able to take home little amulet Petri dishes with their own “living” fingerprints, a yeast powered balloon and simple bio-accoustic ear amplifiers. With this workshop we hope to emphasize that observing life is not just fun, but also takes time and patience.

The workshop will consist of several modules that will introduce children to collecting micro-organisms, observing them and classifying them. They will get to culture their own organisms and observe the reactions between the organism and its environment. They will also construct tools that will help them identify complex and intricate relationships that make up an ecology. The children will be introduced to a laboratory environment where the lab becomes less of an intimidating space and more of a space to spark their curiosity.

Modules

Microscopy

This is an introduction to microscopy where the children will explore their environments, collect samples, observe them and compare them with other samples.

Bacterial Jewellery

The Bacterial Jewellery module comes as a take away amulet that has a living fingerprint of the participant.

Yeast powered balloon

This is a balloon inflates as a result of the yeast growing and interacting with its environment

Bio-Accoustic Ear amplifier

This is a simple amplifier built with cardboard that augments their perception of sound.

BioEngineering introduction for 8 yr olds

They will build body extenstions that will augment their touch perception.

The Lab Book

Recording observations is an important aspect of laboratory life. This module will teach them to collect and record data.

About Hackteria

Hackteria is a collection of Open Source Biological Art Projects started in February 2009 by Andy Gracie, Marc Dusseiller and Yashas Shetty, after their collaboration during the Interactivos?09 Garage Science at Medialab Prado in Madrid. The aim of the project is to develop a rich web resource for people interested in or developing projects that involve DIY bioart, open source software, and electronic experimentation. As a community platform, Hackteria tries to encourage scientists, hackers and artists to combine their expertise, write critical and theoretical reflections, share simple instructions on how to work with life science technologies, and co-operate on the organization of workshops, festivals and meetings. The Hackteria project is supported by: KulturRaumSH ,Migros Kulturprozent and the Srishti school of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore.

Participating artists: Dr. Marc Dusseiller (CH), Dr. Špela Petrič (SI), Maja Smrekar (SI), Aaron Joseph (IN), Fahrad Mehta (IN)

About SGMK

The Swiss Mechatronic Art Society (SGMK, established in 2006) is a collective of engineers, hackers, scientists and artists that joined to collaborate and promote on creative and critical uses of technology. They develop DIY technologies and organize collaborative events, such as a yearly research-camp in the mountains and local regular workshops in electronics, robotics, physical computing, diy-biology, lofi-music etc. They run a public hacker space „MechArt Lab“ (since 2009) and organize the international diy* festival, held every year in Zürich since 2005. They also cooperate with various socio-cultural organisations to hold creative technology courses at schools and youth communities. With the „diy makeaway“, a series of mini-workshops for kids and other open-minded people, they have been present internationally at various exhibitions and festivals, such as SHIFT Festival in Basel, at Copy!, Poolloop and Dorkbot in Zürich, MediaLab Prado in Madrid, CTM.09 in Berlin, CEMA in Bangalore, Cellsbutton#03 in Yogyakarta and many more.
