Aside from being a Hungarian pride, our team viewed the cube as a meatphore for synthetic biology. At the heart of the game is synthetic design, which allows users to alter it’s predefined shape in order to achieve a unique and colorful three dimensional structure. | Aside from being a Hungarian pride, our team viewed the cube as a meatphore for synthetic biology.
