Why Biomaterial Toy Kits?
How can we make sustainability design creative and fun?
How can we make Biomaterials Fun?
We believe that simple explorations with biomaterials are a great way to spark interest in sustainability design. For children, phrases like "engineering", "technology", and "biodesign" can seem intimidating. Our goal is to create a playful biodesign experience for all ages. Through our explorations with the biomaterials kombucha leather and mycelium, we are working to design an engaging, approachable, and fun toy kits.
