Shemakes Labs | Introduction to Biomaterials (Fab Lab León)
Hands-on experiments for young women. We spoke about plastics and pollution and how biomaterials can be an ecological alternative for textiles. Participants made bio-silicons and bioplastics made from agar-agar and alginate that can be used as molds or as materials to make some garments.
