Checkerspot

The Checkerspot x Autodesk x Purdue competition has begun!

In collaboration with the Pollinator Kit and Autodesk’s Fusion 360®software, Purdue ASME is hosting a toy making competition. After creating CAD designs with Autodesk software, students are sent a Pollinator Kit to begin casting their toy with our algae polyurethane.

The Pollinator Kit is bringing renewable material to the next generation of makers. We make it real by giving students the opportunity to create with biomaterials which are otherwise deemed inaccessible at this scale.

Thank you to those who have made this competition happen, we can't wait to see what is created!
