Conservation X Labs<\/h3>\n

Digital Makerspace<\/h3>\n
Conservation X Labs, is creating an open platform called the\u00a0Digital Makerspace<\/a>\u00a0for the makers, innovators, and solvers\u00a0from<\/span>\u00a0every industry to co-create conservation technology projects. These projects are all new approaches to conservation, dedicated to stopping the drivers of extinction, much like the DNA Barcode Scanner our lab works on that I presented on at GCBS 2017 (it\u2019s actually hosted on the Digital Makerspace).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The community includes hundreds of engineers, synthetic biologists, hackers, entrepreneurs, makers, designers, and more. The\u00a0Digital Makerspace\u00a0is an open forum for everyone interested in shaping the future of our planet.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And, to incentivize new innovative ideas, they\u2019re giving out money to new ideas to launch them to prototype and beyond.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The\u00a0Con X Tech Prize<\/a>\u00a0is a competition for bold new technology ideas for\u00a0 conservation.\u00a0Conservation X Labs is awarding 20 teams with $3500 each to fund great ideas in conservation.<\/b>\u00a0Then, in the second round,\u00a0the grand prize winner will walk away with $20,000.\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is a great opportunity for members of your community to get funding for projects that are meaningful, and actively change the world!<\/div>\n
