DIY Material Kits Program
MA Eco-Social Design Semester
2024/25 WS BarkBlox is a workshop where children turn tree bark (a leftover from the timber industry) into their own building blocks. Using natural materials, they learn about sustainability, resourcefulness, and design in a fun and hands-on way. BarkBlox encourages creativity, curiosity, and shows how much you can do with simple materials.

DIY Material Kits
Orange peels, peanut shells, avocado seeds, the daily consumption of our favorite foods often goes together with leftovers. What if we give food waste a second life? Taking scraps as the starting point to create something new? With these Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Material Kits we document and share our hands-on research with recipes to inspire and enable (future) applications.
