🎉 Welcome to the DIYbiophere repository 🎉
We really appreciate your interest in our project 👍 and we would ❤️ your contributions!
The DIYbiosphere is a participatory project to create a database of Do-It-Yourself Biology (DIYbio) initiatives from all over the world. The project is public; open for anyone to add and edit entries, as well as to shape the overall project. The goal is to have a shared and common directory that can connect people and ideas in all its possibilities. With the open data we gather we plan to map and visualize the DIYbio community in all its diversity across time and space in the hopes that we may learn more about the movement and its futures.
For more information about the project go to the About page and check out the project's entry in the database.
The directory functions similar to a wiki, but we use GitHub Pages instead to host and build the content from simple text files using Markdown syntax.
You can learn more about the technologies behind the project in our Build page.
