Overview
Our team were keen to use this opportunity to improve education of synthetic biology and raise public awareness of the facts. It was this mind set that led us to develop our ‘Friend in the Dark’, Furri-lux. Furri-lux is a stuffed toy designed to look like a “friendly monster” – he’s the good monster that scares away the bad monsters under the bed!
However, the real magic happens on the inside…
Material
Our bioluminescent bacteria will live in a broth suspension, which will be housed in a vessel made from poly(methyl methacrylate). PMMA was chosen as it would be sturdy enough so that if it were accidentally dropped or struck, it would prevent the release of the bacteria, and it’s transparent enough to allow the UV-A rays to reach them, and their bioluminescence to shine out.
* The model was designed using a CAD program called Solidworks, then 3D printed using VeroGrey material. More information on VeroGrey can be found at: http://www.buildparts.com/materials/verogrey. *
Full instructions would be provided with the toy, for adults as well as in the form of bedtime stories for the children, to help them learn how to look after their pet and learn about the science in a way they would understand.
