Maker - EDU: Learning Biotech by doing in a DiyBio Space

R
ron shigeta

1) Berkeley BioLabs is a community biotech lab that provides hands-on biotech education and resources for people of all experience levels. 2) In the past summer, over 15 volunteers with varying degrees of experience worked on graduate-level molecular biology techniques and open source biotech projects. 3) The lab aims to make biotechnology more accessible by developing open source lab equipment and sharing their educational resources and workshops with teachers, students, and DIYbio groups.

Maker - Edu: Learning Biotech by doing in a DiyBio Space Ron Shigeta ron@berkeleybiolabs.com
The New Tech: Biotech Rises Biotech has expanded from a drug based world to now include everything J. Craig Venter
Back to the Future: 70s Tech "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Thomas Watson, president of IBM - 1970s Information Technology gave us, the first microprocessor, liquid crystal display, PCs, wordprocessors and email, oh and these dirty hippies hacking...
Back to the Future: 70s Tech & 2014 Biotech 1970s Comp Sci Lab (IBM mainframe & Punchcards for experts only) 2014 Bio Sci Lab (Manual, expensive equipment for experts)
Biotech will be touching every industry on earth in this generation. Who will be creating these innovations? Red: Medicine and Human Health Green: Agricultural Biotech Yellow: Food and Nutritional biotech White: Gene based biotechnology Gray: Fermentation and Bioprocess Blue: Marine and Aquaculture Biotech Gold: Bioinformatics and Nanobiotech
BBL is an evolution; Idealab for Biotech where biology is hands on. Electronics and Computers defined scalable parts of the Tech Economy when the parts became commodities and cheap, enabling everyone to play with them. Biocurious Genspace Bio, Tech and Beyond Counter Culture Labs Berkeley Biolabs
Our Biohackers in Residence first summer Our 15+ summer volunteers, include undergraduates and professionals working together. They are making progress on projects which use graduate level techniques although they have little or no Molecular Biology experience. Monday Night Protocols and Projects in our lab.
Projects that create technology also motivate learning through substance. Open Lab Equipment Creating Open Source technology for greater accessibility. A cell density monitor (left) An affordable electroporation unit
Design and creation of Open Plasmids for high throughput systems biology
Search for clock mechanisms in plants - Search for day/night clock mechanisms in plants
Design of cell culture factors for tissue engineering and biomedical research Growth factors for cell culture nanobodies antibody library
Come and join us Classes and Workshops: o Bacterial Tear Down - look over all the genes in a cell o Molecular Machine Design - design your own iGEM project! Next summer we hope to have teachers, high school and DIYBio iGEM teams, and more projects. Join the Berkeley BioLabs Meetup at MEETUP.COM/Berkeley-BioLabs and come to an event. http://berkeleybiolabs.com
