Biodesign Challenge (BDC), an international educational program, is making waves in the world of sustainable design and innovation. Celebrating its eighth year, BDC has proven that biodesign is a vital and enduring field, offering new career paths, hobbies, and areas of study. Through a unique blend of design and biology, BDC members are founding startups that revolutionize industries and influence consumer behaviors, all with the mission of reversing environmental damage.

As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering a new generation of biodesigners, BDC has launched its 2023 Giving Tuesday Campaign. Running through November 28, this campaign is a call to action for supporters to help BDC reach its $10,000 goal. The campaign features weekly testimonials and stories from BDC alumni, showcasing the transformative impact of biodesign on their lives and careers.

In addition to fundraising, the BDC is preparing to launch the inaugural Biodesign Symposium. This event aims to build a global dialogue around biodesign, bringing together a diverse community of practitioners, researchers, and educators. The Symposium will be a fertile ground for developing robust biodesign curricula and supporting a new generation of diverse learners poised to lead an evolving workforce.
