Biodesign Challenge Summit 2021

Biodesign Challenge is a nonprofit education program and competition in which university and high school students collaborate with instructors in art, design, and biology to envision bold and futuristic projects that address pressing issues in sustainability. Each June, students showcase their projects at the BDC Summit, held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Parsons School of Design. Projects explore topics including the future of food, energy, materials, medicine, and more. Learn more on ourwebsite.Visit Our Social ChannelsTwitter|Instagram|Facebook|LinkedInRead our Online MagazineBiodesignedHelp Us Grow the FutureSupport usby making a donation or becoming a sponsor.
