Hands-On Biology Lab Skills at Home: Real world project

Unlock the world of genetic engineering with this innovative, hands-on course! Gain practical biology and biochemistry skills through a real-world project you can complete at home or school.

This unique course bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a crucial advantage often missing in online and traditional learning environments. Skip the wait for university labs and start learning genetic engineering today!

The course begins with basic computer-based pre-assignments covering fundamental DNA concepts and genetic engineering principles. The core of the course involves hands-on bacteria engineering, including creating bacterial "plates," performing bacterial streaking, and ultimately, engineering bacteria with DNA – all within a few hours over three days.

To participate, you'll need an Engineer-it Kit from Amino Labs (available at www.amino.bio). Develop valuable laboratory skills that will solidify your understanding of biological concepts and provide context for classroom learning. This learn-by-doing approach enriches your current and future biology education.

Beyond practical skills, you'll decipher common scientific jargon used in labs, boosting your confidence whether you pursue a career in science or simply engage with scientists.

Tired of rote memorization in biology? This course empowers you to become a novice genetic engineer. Explore the exciting field of biohacking firsthand by conducting the course in an unconventional setting – your own home or school!

Course Details:

• Time Commitment: Approximately 1 hour for pre-assignments, and 1-3 hours per day for three consecutive days of hands-on work.
• Budget: $45 - $100 (North America), depending on existing supplies.
• What this course is NOT: This is not a comprehensive biology course or a test study guide. It focuses on practical application and provides relevant information in real-time during the hands-on exercises. However, applying the concepts through hands-on activity can significantly enhance retention of related theoretical knowledge.
