DRAFT
Body modifications, enhancing human performance, Marvel comics super heroes, from stellarc to special Olympics
The children will be introduced to a laboratory environment where the lab becomes less of an intimidating space and more of a space to spark their curiosity.
The 'BioCyberKidzz' workshop has been developed as a result of collective brainstorms of many individuals and communities that are devoting their rich experiences in creating the alternative crossovers between arts and science. BioTehna is a platform to initiate curiosity and encourage experimentation and research in the field of life sciences. Through creative and innovative combinations between nature and technology and the inspiring guidance of artists and researchers.

A body hack is a usable technique that can make an improvement to improve a person's life. Hacking the human body has become quite commonplace. Many people have body modifications such as tattoos and piercings. Simple body modifications that allow enhanced human performance can be made with just few materials, such as cardboard, magnets and LEDs. The Bio-Acoustics Ear amplifier can augment a directional perception of sound. With Disco-on-a-Fingertip we can modify our fingers into torches, disco lights or fluorescence detectors, we can augment our touch perception and add a new sense of magnetism by building body extension’s such as the Magnetic Finger. By mixing algae with agar or other jelly we can make Photosynthetic Skin. These body modifications will be observed and recorded in The Lab Book. The children will be introduced to a laboratory environment where the lab becomes less of an intimidating space and more of a space to spark their curiosity.

Monika Pocrnjić (SI) is a artist and a teacher.She studied art education and is interested in biology, physics, electronics and working with children. In her projects she explores the interaction and impact of organic and inorganic substances. She makes interactive installations and workshops. Shes a collaborator and tutor currently active in Maribor.
Dr. Špela Petrič (SI) is a researcher and artist. With a background in biology and biochemistry, she works at the intersection of art, science and technology and is interested the many biological phenomena that influence society and our perception of the human species. She is currently studying Transmedia in Brussels.
Dr. Marc Dusseiller (CH) is a transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for micro- and nanotechnology, cultural facilitator and artist. He works in an integral way to combine science, art and education. He is Co-Founder of SGMK (Zürich) and Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art, a global community bridging bioart, DIYbio, hackerspaces and science.

BioTehna: The workshop is presented as part of the BioTehna project initiated in 2012 by Kapelica Gallery and Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art. BioTehna is a platform to initiate curiosity and encourage experimentation and research in the field of life sciences through creative and innovative combinations between nature and technology and the inspiring guidance of artists and researchers. The BioTehna project is supported by a grant through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union.

Modules
Body Hacking for Kids
Bio-Accoustic Ear amplifier
This is a biologically inspired simple hearing amplifier built with cardboard that augments a directional perception of sound.
Disco-on-a-Fingertip
Seeing with your finger? Let's try to modify our fingers into torches, disco lights or fluorescence detectors!
Magnetic Finger
They will build body extenstions that will augment their touch perception and add a new sense of magnetism.
Photosynthetic Skin
Mix algae with agar or other jelly and pour over the kids :-)
The Lab Book (mbe leave this out...)
Recording observations is an important aspect of laboratory life. This module will teach them to collect and record data.
