Week 1

DRY LAB

For our first team meeting we distributed handouts, reviewed art & design track guidelines and introduced a few project ideas.

We discussed preliminary research and possible manifestations of the project, which included an iPhone case that coordinates with app to process physical samples in the field and a large (weather like) map showing soil health in Manhattan.

Sebastian explained that exposure time for the biosensors we make would not be an instant result, like kit, but need at minimum a few hours to process. We also discussed how (some of) the biosensors function to change colors- once they bind the to soil sample the molecules change shape, therefore changing the way the light refracts and the color visible.
