<div><p>This book covers the emerging discipline of synthetic biology, a field that's forcing us to reconsider our relationship to the natural living world. In a future where technicians can write genomes from scratch and print them at will, there’s a critical need for a textbook that makes the systematic engineering approach to biology transparent.</p><p>Based on the BioBuilder curriculum, developed at MIT in collaboration with award-winning high school teachers, this textbook provides open-access, modular, hands-on lessons in synthetic biology for secondary and post-secondary classrooms and laboratories. Further content is available through in-person teacher training programs around the US.</p><p>Ideal for the hundreds of BioBuilder teachers using this curriculum around the country, as well as the growing audience of educators in biotech clubs and informal education settings,<i>BioBuilder</i> is written for students as well, with text and illustrations they’ll find relevant.</p></div>
