Mushroom Maestros
What can YOU make out of mushrooms?
Mention mushrooms, molds, slimes, or other fungi to kids and you're likely to get a bunch of scrunched noses and a chorus of "EWWs!" That all changes when Eben and Gavin start to explain how mushroom technology is changing the way we think about packaging, sculpture, and many other things.
Using the game-changing mushroom-based technologies coming out of Ecovative's Mycelium Foundry as the overarching phenomenon, students explore traits, characteristics, and engineering as they ask themselves: "How and why do traits develop and how can humans use them to solve problems and develop technology?" |
Learn how to make all sorts of things out of mushrooms!
