Event Description
BDC Summit 2022 is June 20-24!
June 20-24, over 250 students from 18 countries will share their projects that bridge art, design, and biotech. Over the course of a week, teams from 54 high schools and colleges will present before a global audience and the 50+ expert judges. Eight teams will be selected to advance to the Finals on June 24, where judges will select the Overall Winner to take home the coveted Glass Microbe.
