The physical wet lab (running the robot with real bacteria and plates) was not performed. The virtual design originally planned more colors, but only two fluorescent bacterial strains (two colors) were available, so the pattern was simplified accordingly. The final simulated result image is shown below. Overview & Objective In this two‑day lab, we program the Opentrons OT‑2 pipetting robot to deposit genetically engineered E. coli (expressing fluorescent proteins) onto black charcoal agar plates, creating glowing bio‑art. The lab combines synthetic biology, automation, and art. Skills gained: writing Opentrons Python protocols, simulating robot moves, and understanding fluorescent proteins (GFP, RFP, etc.).Hugoen
