Who we are

BiOM (Biological Observation Monash) is a student-led team at the intersection of Conservation and Technology. We create innovative, accessible tools to support real-world environmental solutions.

Bringing together students from science, engineering and computer science. We design and prototype technologies for Ecological Monitoring — from Environmental Sensors to machine learning in the field.

Our Mission

BiOM is more than just a student team. It’s a collaborative space where young conservationists build skills, form industry connections, and contribute meaningfully to environmental causes. As we grow, so too does our commitment to learning, curiosity, and action in the face of ecological challenges.
