Biomaker Challenge August Meetup: Arduino shields and touchscreen displays

Biomaker Challenge is a four-month programme challenging interdisciplinary teams to build low-cost sensors and instruments for biology. From colorimeters to microfluidics and beyond, we’re looking for frugal, open source and DIY approaches to biological experiments. A list of funded projects can be found here. 

Thie second Biomaker Challenge meetup took place on Wed 30 August and was a great opportunity for those who came along to meet other participants, share ideas and get help with various aspects of the challenge. 

The teams got an introduction to using the Gtronics Proto Shield Plus with Arduino and programming the 4D Systems Display Programmable Touchscreen.
