BioBubbles & Biofabrication!
Today, nearly 180 enthusiastic 3rd and 4th graders dove into the world of biofabrication, creating their own mock hydrogels and bubble-shaped "cells" using sodium alginate. The hands-on fun didn’t stop there—they also got to explore the cutting-edge tech inside UNH’s incredible new STEM Mobile Lab!
Big thanks to Sydney and the UNH teaching team for turning complex science into an exciting, hands-on experience. And a huge shoutout to UNH & their Economic Development partners who helped bring this innovative, self-contained, and sustainable lab to life. You’ve made it possible for students to learn science to *anywhere*—and that’s seriously cool!
