A lively community and home to biomaking projects for MIT engineers of all interests and levels of experience.
The MIT BioMakers was created to inspire biomaking in the MIT community and foster interdisciplinary work and research. We are here to collaborate with students in developing their own projects while also giving them a space to accomplish this and a community to grow with and learn from. We host a variety of events, projects, and classes for the MIT community and are part of a growing network of biomakerspaces across university campuses.

About Us
MIT BioMakers is an open community of students that are designing and leading hands-on bioengineering projects. In our makerspace, students learn, play, and explore biology by developing tools, conducting experiments, creating art, investigating our relationship with nature + each other, and more. Our purpose To provide students with the space and resources to create with […]
Classes
In addition to acting as a place for students to explore their own ideas, the BioMakerspace also functions as a teaching lab in the Department of Bioengineering and hosts multiple classes during the semester. Refer to the MIT Course Catalog for current class listings. 10.A01/20.A06: Making for Chemical/Biological Engineers, Hands on! What can biological engineers […]
