Designed with the same rigor and curriculum design as our flagship Executive Program, it offers a deep, focused lens into one of the most transformative technologies of our time. This experience isn’t about passive listening. It’s about actively shifting your mindset, helping you understand not just what’s happening in biotech, but how to think about it—and why it matters for your business, your industry, and society at large. Our goal is to help you see the possible futures, so you can lead—not follow—what comes next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/549f1262e4b003c6ce176069/1419884394646-TIKJLPXNYANZGI47HHRT/BioBox_2013.jpg Projects - Education + Art This Biobox is a collection of natural objects gathered by the students. A class of local 1st graders were asked to collect a natural artifact that they find interesting or intriguing. As an activity, the students (and parents) were inspired to interact with their ecosystem in a new way, with a new lens. As a collection, the box provides insight into the aesthetic elements that fascinate minds, young and old. For both the students and viewers of this piece, the Biobox hopes to inspire a reconnection with nature.
