Training: Green Lab/Laboratory

Green Lab is a space where we can cultivate living organisms under laboratory conditions, from fungi and plants to microorganisms, or create products from various natural materials, such as mycelium, resin, paper pulp, natural fibers, and kombucha leather.

During the training, we will learn about different technologies and processes needed for this, and, above all, we will learn how to handle laboratory equipment: laminar flow cabinets, autoclaves, distillers, various ovens and dryers, heaters, scales, microscopes, pH meters, and freezers (-80°C), as well as various chemicals that we have in stock for our first experiments.

We will introduce the basics of sterile work, the first steps in preparing growth media, and working with microorganisms, fungi, and other living organisms.

The training lasts 2 hours and applies to the Laboratory work station. It will be led by the head of the Green Lab, Maruša Ramšak.

Training is suitable for participants aged 14 or older.
