BioArtBot (https://www.bioartbot.org/) is a project for learning synthetic biology through creative expression.

A liquid handling robot "prints" the submitted drawing with microbes onto a petri dish. It places a few cells at each location, and over a few days these cells multiply until each "pixel" is actually a microbial colony (it uses strains of genetically modified E. coli).

The artistic value of the drawing I submitted is negligible, but my daughter is very happy with the result.

@danwchan Thank you Danny!

Unfortunately I missed the #solsticeschool2023 hashtag (and a lot of interesting presentations!), but I signed up for your talk (I hope to be able to connect in time 🙂 )
