Design Practice | Bioplastics

Build your design toolkit! Design Practice is a series of free, drop-in workshops for high school students exploring techniques, strategies, and careers in design. No prior experience required—just bring yourself and a creative mindset. This month, join artist and designer Jessie French as we explore the world of bioplastics. Designers all over the world are working on solutions to plastic pollution and reducing our reliance on petrochemicals. French’s work explores plastics made from algae! Participants will work with this algae bioplastic material, molding their own keychain or small object to take home.
