At BioJam Camp, cultural, local, lived, and Indigenous knowledge—and the communities from which such expertise comes—are centered in bioengineering education. Callie Chappell, Rolando Perez, & Corinne Okada Takara share their vision for the future of biodesign: issues.org/biojam/

On day 12 of #biojamcamp, teens taught a Kratky hydroponics workshop for #migrant elementary and middle school students. Kids got to take home their own hydroponics set-up with a live plant! 🌱

Honored to have accepted first place poster prize at ComSciCon on behalf of BioJam Camp. Amazing to see how people resonated with our mission of reimagining science communication towards social and environmental justice. This is a thread about the folks that make it happen! 🧵
