A space for biodesigning at Aalto University
The bioMakerStudio is a DIY fabrication space, which acts as an incubator for exploring and engaging creatively with the process of biological growing, making, and designing.
We welcome creatives (researchers, students, makers, community) from any discipline who are working with (or would like to try) bio-themed projects.
Our intention is also to be as low-threshold, accessible, flexible and open as possible. We we encourage users to be explorative, scavenge stuff, make their own tools, and try more exploratory encounters that might be otherwise hard to do in a closed lab environment.
Our space develops according to demand, and grows together with the projects and our community.

Where to find us
Otakaari 7, 02150 Espoo, Finland
OUR APPROACH
At the bioMakerStudio, we run on a makerspace philosophy, which includes:
Learning-by-making
You learn through hands-on experiments, and by actively making and growing something. DIY (Do-it-yourself) and DIWO (Do-it-with-others) with communities.
Finding creative workarounds
This is not a scientific lab – meaning that for certain processes, you will have to find creative workarounds. Can you find replacements for tools in everyday objects, for example?
Combine fabrication techniques and fields
How can you combine different fabrication and making techniques? Biofabrication, digital fabrication, crafts, textiles… How can you combine knowledge from different disciplines?
Sharing and lowering barriers to knowledge
With the open-access mindset, you’ll share your processes and results with others, and also learn from others. How can you share your knowledge in ways that can be accessed by more people?

Garden
8m2 community garden plot, currently growing:

> Electronic workstations
> Programming software
For more info, visit: https://studios.aalto.fi/fablab/
WHAT CAN I WORK WITH?
We allow work with entry-level and food-safe organisms and materials in the bioMakerStudio. Currently, we are working with bacterial cellulose (SCOBY), cyanobacteria (spirulina), slime mould (physarum), mycelium (oyster and reishi), and plants (wild and grown).
Working with organisms that are highly perceptible to contamination would be very challenging in our space, as we cannot create completely aseptic conditions.
The bioMakerStudio is constantly changing. For most recent photos check out our Instagram account: @biomakerstudio

Biocomposite experiments using eggshell waste at the bioMakerStudio 🥚
The eggshell mixture was poured into a mould, "fixed" with vinegar, and dried in the oven. Once dry, the biocomposite was dipped in a coating of alginate.
These are some preliminary experiments, and we`ll continue to develop it further in the coming weeks!

We`ve been growing grass at the BioMakerStudio for the last few weeks to experiment with root textiles 🌱💧
This is catgrass 🌱 grown in a 3D printed mould to form the root patterns. It`s sprayed several times every day with water to keep hydrated🚰
Thank you @cocoon.bio and @iaacbcn for your support with this!

Bioreceptive Textiles Workshop 🧪
This workshop, organised by @edoardobrunellidesigner was packed with inspiration, learnings, and tinkering!
The afternoon began inspiring lectures by @biofilia_aalto
@polly_in_the_lab @areyouharveyshawaboutthat @ardalanrahimipour and @ena.knighto, who contributed with expert knowledge from their fields and research.
In the latter half, the participants chose an organism that they wanted to work with: algae, plants, mycelium, scoby, or slime mould – and investigated ways to combine them with textiles 🌿
Thank you to all the participants for joining!
