What is BioJam?
|
We are seeking highly motivated high school students to participate in BioJam, a FREE academic program from Stanford University that engages high school students in biology, art, and engineering through their own culture and creativity. You do not need to have prior experience with biology or technology to apply!
After the summer, BioJam continues throughout the 2021-2022 school year where teens will design community engagement activities based on what they learned at camp. Last year, in collaboration with the BioJam Team members, teens delivered face masks, created museum exhibits, and created artwork for professional art exhibits. |
Estamos buscando a estudiantes de preparatoria altamente motivados para participar en BioJam. BioJam es un programa gratuito de la Universidad de Stanford para estudiantes de la preparatoria que busca exponer temas de biología, arte e ingeniería a través de su propia cultura y creatividad. ¡No necesitas tener experiencia previa con biología o tecnología para aplicar!
Después del verano, BioJam continua durante el año académico 2021-2022, donde estudiantes diseñarán actividades comunitarias basadas en lo que aprendieron en el campamento del verano. El año pasado, estudiantes entregaron mascarillas y crearon exhibiciones para museos y obras de arte para exhibiciones de arte profesionales. |
When is BioJam?
|
BioJam starts with a 2-week summer camp (June 28th - July 9th, 2021) themed around climate change, sustainability, and environmental justice. Campers will grow plants, use circuits to create greenhouse structures with LED lights, and create a self watering gardening system. Camp will occur remotely and we will provide all materials by delivering kits. We can also provide laptops, if needed. BioJam activities continue throughout the academic year.

BioJam inicia con un campamento de verano (28 de Junio - 9 de Julio, 2021) centrado en cambio climático, sustentabilidad, y justicia ambiental. Estudiantes crecerán plantas, usarán circuitos para crear estructuras de invernaderos con luces LED, y diseñarán un sistema de jardinería con riego automático (acuaponia). El campamento ocurrirá remotamente y proveeremos todos los materiales necesarios mediante la entrega de kits. También podemos proporcionar computadoras si es necesario.

2021 Curriculum Pathways
Let's imagine a magical future with art, science, culture, and biomaking.
Our 2021 camp is centered around kits, which fold out into a collaborative structure between humans, plants, microbes and electronics.
Together, we will reflect on our cultural knowledge to create science and art projects that imagine a future of justice, sustainability, and coexistence in the face of environmental change.
At camp you will learn alongside peers from the East Bay, San Jose, Salinas, and South Monterey County, as well as community educators and Stanford students. We are excited to learn with you!

Camp Modules
|
Traditional & Cultural Knowledge
Together, we will explore how our cultural knowledge and lived experience already makes us expert scientists by growing seeds! How can we build on this expertise to innovate sustainable solutions? 
|
Circuitry as Art
To collaborate with plants and microbes, we'll create art with lights, temperature and water sensors, and a self-watering system using micro.bit+ and powered by the sun. 
|
Agriculture Technology
What is future ecosystem of food production? We will create an aquaponics system in a jar to explore the future of regenerative agriculture.
