BIOBUS
A high-tech mobile STEM laboratory
When BioBus sought to revolutionize STEM accessibility with a next-generation mobile laboratory, they partnered with Tessellate to translate their visionary educational model into a high-impact physical reality. Tasked with designing a state-of-the-art community science center inside an iconic Airstream trailer, Tessellate engineered a seamlessly integrated physical, technical, and spatial environment tailored to inspire future scientists across New York City. By pairing research-grade scientific equipment with an open-ended, exploratory atmosphere, Tessellate transformed a mobile vehicle into an immersive, highly scalable engine for hands-on learning and community engagement.
“Because of the work they did, we get precisely the enthusiastic reaction we want from our visitors, which makes this project the success it is. The Tessellate team is uniquely creative with strong engineering skills, and I am confident they would bring an artistic eye and depth of experience in bringing your project to life.”
