Illustration I “More important, however, is what I learned about myself”
Top-Down Curriculum Development runners-up for experimental contexts • who ordered that? • light my wire • lucifer-yeast • cut it out • yeast identity crisis • language of biological systems (device details) • PR • interpretive dance
standards • noise • logic functions • grammar of genetic composition • device characterization • transfer curves • physical assembly • functional composition • mutation/evolution • circuit design • coordinating cell behavior • predictable manipulation • digital vs analog • measurement: cell vs bulk • measurement: PoPS • abstraction • decoupling Bottom-Up Curriculum Development
Standards • Students register, identify parts, specify a protein generator • Assembly: physical not functional, cloning vs direct synthesis • Specify new part
