The age of personal biotechnology is upon us! Engineers have turned biology in a design discipline and it's now up to us to shape it's applications. After completing the BioHack Academy you can grow your own fuel, food, filaments, farmaceuticals, fragances, fungi and much more funky bio stuff at home. We'll teach you how to join the bio revolution and build your own biofactory using a Fablab, Maker/Hackspace or other shared machine shop.Learn how to design, and grow into a design discipline, and it's now up to us to shape its applications.  We'll teach you how to join the bio revolution and build your own biofactory using a Fablab, Maker/Hackspace, or biofuel; we'll show you can grow it yourself and share the results with others.

We'll teach you how to join the bio revolution and build your own biofactory using a Fablab, Maker/Hackspace, or bio fuel, we'll show you can grow it yourself and share the results with others.For starters, you may choose a product from our collection, such as violacein (purple dye), cellulose (biopolymer), ethanol fuel (yeast fermentation), spirulina algae (superfood), lactic acid (yogurt), penicillin (A guest speaker will lecture on each theme, sharingantibiotic), kombucha (drink), acidic acid (vinegar), citric acid (aspergillus), mycelium (filaments), and/or tell us about your own living material of choice.<a href="https://vimeo.com/channels/biohackacademy">BioHack Academy video channel</a> <a href="http://biohackacademy.github.io/">BioHack Academy Github pages</a><h3>Apply for BioHack Academy 2025</h3>The BioHack Academy 2025 will run for 10 weeks starting February 3. The workshops and lectures (taught in English) will be on Monday and Wednesday. Each theme will be lectured on by a guest speaker who will share their knowledge and expertise in the field of biohacking. On Tuesday and Thursday, participants are expected to work on their own projects in the Open Wetlab under the guidance of the instructors. <h4>€ 500 Early bird discount &amp; final registration date</h4>Regular price: 4.598 euro (incl. tax) Get € 500 discount (pay only 4.098 euro incl. tax) until December 1 2024.

A lecture will be given and recorded every week. You will also have access to the Amsterdam Open Wetlab and Fablab two days a week to build equipment, conduct experiments, and get the support you need.The lectures will give you insight into the kind of tool we are building and its usefulness in the lab. You may choose to either replicate the tutor's design, improve it, or build your own device from scratch. It's up to you how sophisticated things may get.All students are required to keep track of their progress on the BioHack Academy wiki, allowing them to learn from each other. Two weeks in advance of each lecture students will receive a recommended materials list and access to the tutor's design, allowing for enough time to purchase items or to seek alternatives.The program is a hands-on ready to continue production independently at home.<h4>What's next</h4>After the Academy is completed, you will receive a BHA Biofactory certificate. The project's Github and video channel are open to the public, and the results will be shared with the Open-SourceWith your own biofactory, you may continue to advance your production skills, engage in directed evolution experiments, produce biogas, purify water, and bioremediate polluted soil, just to name biotech community at large.In possession of your own biofactory, you may continue to advance your production skills, engage in directed evolution experiments, produce biogas, purify water, bioremidate poluted soil, just to give a few. Bio has no limits! BioHack Acadamy is part of Hybrid Lab Network, which has received funding from the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme under grant agreement no. 341166.
