Since it Munich with its two major universities is a hub of new ideas and entrepreneurs it was more than time for the first big hackathon event to take place here. Hosted by the [https://www.unternehmertum.de UnternehmerTUM, the entrepreneurship center of TU Munich, the [http://www.techfestmunich.com/ TECHFEST MUNICH] promised to be even more than your ordinary hackathon with dozens of challenges and over 300 creative minds. Of course we could not miss this awesome opportunity to present the technical heart of our project, our bioprinter, to them and maybe even get some new ideas and tips.
Hackaday - the largest community of hackers
As hacking of our 3D printer became an essential part of our project we figured we needed to share our know-how in the true spirit of the DIY community. So it came with no suprise that we put our project up on [http://hackaday.io hackaday.io], the world's largest collaborative hardware development community. This also allowed us to introduce this highly tech-loving audience to our kind of hacking, biohacking.
[http://hackaday.io/project/14501-biotink-the-bioprinter-of-tomorrow Our project page] allows everybody how might want, be it a scientist oder rocket engineer, to reconstruct our bioprinter with the DIY kit as all the files and instructions one needs are hosted there and can be accessed for free .

Of course we also got in touch with the people via our social media feeds. Are there even better ways to show what we are really doing all day long? Also a great for surveys and staying in touch with fellow Teams.
