Product Details

Bioengineering 101 combines a real molecular biology lab kit with a structured course that takes you from basic lab skills to bacterial transformation and CRISPR gene editing.

This is not a simulation, a science-demo box, or a course where you only watch someone else do the experiments.

You work with real equipment, real biological materials, plasmids, selective media, fluorescent proteins, and CRISPR components while learning the biology behind every step.

The course also includes guest lectures from scientists including Dr. George Church and Dr. Kate Adamala, connecting the experiments on your bench to the way biotechnology is actually practiced in research.

By the end, you will have built a practical foundation in molecular biology and genetic engineering that goes well beyond reading about it in a textbook.

Who Is It For

A structured introduction to molecular biology for people who want both the equipment and the course behind the experiments.

You do not need previous genetic engineering experience.

Complete beginners

Makers and biohackers

Educators

Students interested in biotechnology or molecular biology

Homeschool science programs

Excellent kit - niche - well aligned

I’m working as an AI engineer for a company focused on 3d genomics, my background is computational. The google classroom took a moment to get used to, but this course has helped greatly with my understanding of the biology fundamentals underlying the in-silico mutagenesis and perturbation I’ve been researching. Highly recommend!

AWESOME !!!

I actually got this gift for my birthday and I was very stoked when I got it. The next day I immediately got to work on learning and I'm learning more then I ever would of thought i would about genetic engineering ! Shout out to my wife for getting me this kit I begged her for.

Great kit, great customer service

Kit is good, easy instructions, very informative. It’s very fun to mess around with different bacteria, and cells. Definitely a good investment.

Kit and lectures

Great customer service and high quality equipment.

???

I fell in love by bioengieering at first sight... its great! the problem is i'm poor, tight on cash and US$ 349,00 means 5x greater here in Brazil and that compromize my low wages and i have a lot of debts to pay. But let's never give up... hoping things get better and be ready to order. By for now collegues. Keep the good activities.

Excellent product

I appreciate this alternative to conventional classes, product contained everything I needed within the context of the class without having to spend a small fortune. Looking forward to taking bioengineering 102 when it becomes available

GREAT FOR BEGINNING

super deal with alot of bio learning great for just learning this science

This course made me fall in love with bioengineering!

Thank you for putting together such an amazing course! I had no idea that the only thing that separates living things from nonliving things is cells, and it is so incredible to understand how these basic building blocks of life can be used to make lives better! Your course lays a clear bioengineering foundation and then provides the opportunity to use that knowledge to do real bioengineering and work with antibiotics, crispr, bioluminescent bacteria and much more! Education with practical application is the perfect combo, and you provide it brilliantly with your course. I truly love it! Thank you!!!

Wonderful Starter Kit 101

Wonderful service from THE ODIN! I was scared but it was all because of the USPS logistics and my country's postal service and they kindly answered me for my peace of mind! 100% recommended so now I will try to learn to see if I can start practicing with some mushrooms and some cyanobacteria that I am interested in studying .... Thank you very much The Odin!

Surprised at how much it cost considering the everything that is included along with the time and...

I am very happy with this product as well as the instruction, knowledge, and professional assistants I am receiving from The Odin! I recommend everything they have to offer!

Enjoying the content and learning a lot.

I am a practicing mushroom cultivating so I have rudimentary experience with lab work. But even without that foundation this course is beginner friendly and quiet comprehensive. The price point is great for what you get. Thank you ODIN for creating this class and making us newbies feel welcome to explore and engage.

A great experience!

I really got a lot out of this class between the lessons and the labs.

Exciting!

Would buy again, will be buying the 102 kit

Starting Well

I'm glad, I've been interested in learning biohacking for a while and now I have a chance to do it. I just received my kit and completed the pippette class, can't wait to get in the good stuff!

Having a lot of fun with it!

I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've been watching the videos, reading the book, and attempting the experiments. It's gone very well so far. Also, I found the Facebook group and interaction to be very friendly and motivating.

Excellent Course & Resources

Great intro to bioengineering and genomic engineering. I'm not sure where else you would be able to get this type of kit/class set. The team is very accessible and answers questions very promptly. Great service.

Very fun, learning alot!

This is a great deal for anyone who has an interest in getting started in bio-hacking.

Terrific resource

This kit and video lecture series combination has been an effective and motivating way to learn both the theory and practice of basic bioengineering. I would recommend it to anyone interested in getting started in this field.

No experience before the class

So i want to preface my review by saying I'm an avid online learner, and i'm about halfway through the class now. That being said, this is a great class that introduces the subjects in a nice easy way and the value is incredible. I mean, I have a friend with a bachelors in biomedical engineering that knows less than crispr about me. This class is a great option if your self motivated. If your the kind of person that needs more direction, or a traditional classroom setting, maybe it's not the class for you. Still, no resource like this exists outside of universities when it comes to receiving a crash course in bio-engineering.

Best thing ever.

This class is exactly what the world needs. A place where anyone can come to learn hands-on genetic engineering and do it themselves. My only advice is that the 101 class does spend a lot of time going over the details of a cell. If you recently took a college-level cellular biology class, go ahead and skip to the 102 class, you will enjoy the harder material and benefit from not going over what you already know. Perhaps the Odin should create an online test that can tell you what class you should be in based on your experience and knowledge level.

101 class at my own pace.

So far so good, I got the box and its contents not long ago and I have been doing some of the reading at my own pace. I can't wait to do some of the experiments at home this summer before I start school back up in the fall.
