BioSensors was a mandatory project-based course for 2nd year students at the interdisciplinary life science undergraduate program "Frontiers in life science", University Paris Descartes, CRI, from 2015 to 2017.

This learning-through-research course at the interface between physics, biology and engineering was a playground to develop and confirm research and 21st century skills for 3 years of students, having as an outcome over 60 open science low-cost solutions developed entirely by the students.

I'll present a few projects developed through rapid prototyping - teams of students had only a week to come up with an idea, propose the project, design the tools, execute the experiments and present the data.

As a teaser, check out the video of the new summer program where Biosensors continues to live on. Biosensors projects are openly shared via Twitter, on a LearningThruResearch blog: , and on GitHub.
