This workshop aims to help biologists get up and running with building their own custom device for use in the lab and field. With simplified beginner’s kits, and a programme adapted for distance learning, we hope that this workshop can offer you a new set of skills that will be useful in your future career. No coding or electronics experience is required, and we will work though a number of simple tasks step-by-step. The workshop will take place over two sessions from 5:30-7:00pm on 27^th June and 1^st July, and will include hands-on sessions, as well as the opportunity to meet other budding biomakers.

If you’d like to attend, please register on our Eventbrite page.

You can find out more about the Biomaker and No-Code Programming for Biology programmes on the Biomaker website.
