The BioBuilderClub Final Assembly
Students, teachers, and mentors from around the world shared their progress at our Final Assembly at LabCentral in Cambridge, MA in March. The program included one minute lightning talks and electronic posters from each team.
Several teams are already making plans to continue their work this year and next. If you'd like to keep up or join us next year, more information can be found at the BioBuilderClub website
