If you could build with biology like you can build with legos, what would you make? Imagine taking the parts and properties of one life form and giving them another. You could give humans the ability to camouflage like a chameleon, or make a tree that grows every kind of fruit. Maybe you could add bat wings to a lizard and create a real life dragon… Well, we’re not quite there yet, but you can still learn how to engineer biology! In this course, we’ll discuss the amazing field of Synthetic Biology and all the crazy things that are possible today. We’ll talk about glowing dogs, banana-scented bacteria, tadpoles with algae for blood… Come learn about CRISPR, GMOs, PCR, iGEM, and other whacky acronyms! You’ll end this course equipped with the basic knowledge you need to become the cellular programmers of the future.
