In this edition of Brilliant Labs Magazine: Future Forward, we share stories from our community of makers and educators who are looking forward to the future. We explore how teachers and students consider real-world problems as they participate in the our “Community of the Future” Innovation Challenge where we ask students to consider one, or more, of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and design a solution for which will benefit communities. To further illustrate the power of biology, the most recent Brilliant Labs Speaker Series’ guest: Toss Terán, presented her work in the bioscience sonification of fungi and trees with mycologists and botanists. It was an incredible way to consider the connection between humans and the environment. This inspirational guest has spurred us to dig deeper and challenge ourselves to think about the future of bioscience.
