BioLab

Young people in Vejle with an interest in natural science, technology, sustainability, and creativity can explore, experiment with, and develop alternative and sustainable materials in BioLab.

BioLab enables experimentation with biohacking and supports the development of alternative, sustainable materials – an important prerequisite for promoting more climate‑friendly solutions within industries such as textiles, construction, and food production. How can we create biodegradable alternatives to plastic, concrete, or leather? What can coffee grounds be transformed into? Can a plant grow its own plant pot?

“We want to inspire young people to work creatively and experimentally at the intersection of natural science and technology, and to meet in an environment they don’t encounter in their everyday lives,” explains Peter Dahl, Senior Consultant at FabLab Spinderihallerne.

Young people and their educators are offered an alternative to traditional classroom teaching through hands‑on experimentation at FabLab Spinderihallerne. The focus is on building a broad community for young people who dream of exploring new opportunities at the crossroads of science and technology, sustainability, and creativity.

FabLab Spinderihallerne is known for experimenting with modern technologies and materials through creative design processes. With this DNA as its foundation, BioLab will create an environment for young people who are passionate about immersing themselves in a world of experimentation. At the same time, participants will naturally encounter entrepreneurs, companies, and dedicated volunteers who are also active at Spinderihallerne and in the FabLab.
