DINO Pet: An adorable 3D printed dinosaur nightlight powered by algae

I needed only to read the first four words of the tweet to have my curiousity piqued and exploration initiated. But beyond my nostalgic senses tingling with the “adorable” form of a dinosaur, the project has profound implications by using bioenergy (i.e. bio luminescent  dinoflagellates, hence DINO). While the scope of the project seems focused on the education of youth, it also points towards a future of sustainable energy. Not to mention it’s 3D printed shape that has undergone much research to find an ideal that could sustain the life of the algae.

Investing in the Kickstarter project is definitely on my mind. I would certainly like my own little DINO pet sitting on my desk–far easier to take care of than a cat.
