Description: An introduction to the fabrication of microfluidic devices and the potential bio-applications.

Academic Mission: The main academic goal will be to teach students fabrication methods for creating PDMS-based microfluidic devices. The device created will demonstrate the ability for microfluidic devices to produce double emulsions, an important tool in multiple bio-applications including drug and single cell encapsulation.

Time Frame: This will be a one day workshop consisting of a morning session running from 9am-12pm and an afternoon session running from 2-4pm. 12-2pm will provide time for a student lunch break as well as enough time for devices to fully cure in oven. The same workshop will be offered on two different days.
