Welcome Biohackers!
"BioHack Academy 4 is once again going to rock the BioHack planet! Spread across four different continents you are going to build, use and share new biohack labs and practice how to hack biotechnology."-- Waag Society
At UWA, we will join the BioHack Academy for the first time. We will tune into live-streamed lectures every week, and each week we will build one bio lab tool and try it out on some biomaterials. Short practicals will help you along the way to learn the necessary skills, but it will be up to you to explore them further and pursue your own personal goals. Toward the end of the course, you will start to drive your own ideas and projects.
