Host an Agar Art Workshop

Our participants have shown us time and again that you don't need to be an expert microbiologist to make beautiful agar art - it's something anyone can create with access to a basic laboratory. If you're looking for a way to engage your community with microbiology, consider hosting your own Agar Art workshop using our step-by-step Facilitator's Guide. To host a workshop, you need:

• a space that is BSL-1 compliant, such as a high school or college biology laboratory
• materials and equipment for cultivating microbes (complete list is in the guide)
• someone with the appropriate experience to lead the workshop  

You can host a workshop at any time. Encourage your participants to sign up for our contest notifications (and refrain from posting their work online so they don't disqualify themselves) and they can enter their creation when we open submissions!

Note: To access the guide, we ask for your contact information so that we can collect feedback on how you're using the guide and ways it can be improved. 

BioHub Israel (BioHub IL) is a non-profit group with a common vision: Safe practice in biology should be available to everyone. Everyone? Yes, to everyone! The group appeals to anyone who wants a practical experience in biology, whether it is for study, hobby or an idea for a product. You are invited to follow our activities and join us for our monthly meetings!
