Welcome to Biofab Explorer

Biofab needs you

With a rapidly growing industry and a critical need for labor, the biofabrication industry is calling on the next generation of problem-solvers from all backgrounds.

The Curriculum

The Biofab Curriculum comes packed with everything needed to inspire interest in the industry.

2 Work-Based Learning Simulations

Choose between two hands-on Work-Based Learning Simulations — Tissue Fabrication or Automation — both essential pillars of the growing biofabrication industry.  Each simulation is designed to work in any classroom, using whatever technology and materials you have on hand.

10 Challenges

Each simulation offers a series of interdisciplinary challenges that mirror real-world biofabrication work — helping students explore their interests and discover where they thrive. Students might 3D print a scaffold, weigh bioethical dilemmas, or troubleshoot automated systems to gain a taste of the teamwork, creativity, and complexity that define the biofabrication field. 

Universally Designed

Each simulation is universally designed and packed with support for all learners and educators — including career connections, accessibility tips, key vocabulary, ready-to-use assignments, engagement strategies, and additional resources to take the learning further. 

1 Career-Ready Portfolio

Throughout the simulation, students will build a portfolio that showcases their process — through photos, videos, reflections, and more — ready to share with future employers or schools.
