3D bioprinting is one of the most rapidly advancing fields of medicine and engineering. However, typically only graduate students, professors, and some researchers have access to this technology. My project explores the idea of creating a new way to 3D bioprint in your house by converting a 3D plastic printer to a 3D bioprinter as well as using at-home ingredients to create a support bath to print into. This will allow for cheap access to the technology, allowing more students, in college and high school, the ability to learn about and work towards the major obste with 3D bioprinting.
With this project, I won the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium for New York state and had the opportunity to compete in New Mexico at the national level.
