The Algae Lab lets you discover the incredible organism algae, specifically microalgae.
Microalgae are not only crucial for life on earth right now (as they produce approximately half of the atmospheric oxygen), but have a significant potential to keep our planet healthy in the future. The kit includes all the material you need to grow microalgae - and includes inspirations and recipes for cooking, making art, and experimenting with microalgae.

Testing the algae experience
In order to test the different elements of the Algae Lab, we ran algae experimentation workshops and collaborated with schools.
These tests allowed us to quickly iterate the product, discard elements that didn’t work and improve the experience by tweeking language and action cards.
