Fungi are not just what you find on pizza.
They are one of the most structurally sophisticated organisms on the planet, and they are emerging as a serious design material for:
- Aviation
- Manufacturing
- Healthcare
- Sustainable systems
This program will introduce students to fungi as a biomaterial:
- What they are
- How they behave
- How they can be shaped
- How systems thinking built around biological materials might define the next generation of design and engineering
This program is hands on, studio-lab in structure, and built around real materials and real experimental processes.

October 15th. Shrinky dinks and bioplastics
