Structured as a multi-university competition, the Biodesign Challenge is an education program that partners biologists with art and design students to envision the future of biotech. It seeks to educate a generation of biodesigners—biotechnology professionals working at the intersection of biotech and society. The program is building a community of scientists, artists, and designers who explore how biotech can create new industries, fit into and change existing industries, and reveal biotech’s ethical, social, and environmental implications.
