Every year  billions of people use products that are connected to genetic engineering  yet few have the opportunity to explore and practice the concepts and skills that make biotechnologies possible. With biotechnology and genetic engineering being rapidly growing career paths there is no reason to wait until university to get a glimpse of these exciting subjects thanks to the worlds first beginners guide to genetic engineering.  A combination of real-world hands-on activities and fundamentals  this book is written with many levels of depth so you can choose how you want to learn. Are you a hands-on or visual learner? Each chapter starts with one or more activities to anchor the concepts found in the fundamentals section. Fundamentals go into the theory behind the hands-on experiences and cover the first principles of biology  biochemistry  and genetic engineering. If you are not looking to complete the hands-on exercises  Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is written with many fun analogies to help explain concepts and includes over130 color illustrations and breakout discussions that recommend web search terms to guide you on the internet. Unlike other textbook options that offer information  Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero offers a narrative that makes learning the information more interesting.  Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero makes use of Amino Labs Minilab ecosystem to enable you to do real scientific exercises at home  in the classroom  or in a makerspace. Most importantly  you dont need any prior knowledge of genetic engineering  biohacking or biology to get started.  Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is the most cutting-edge and accessible education book for learning genetic engineering. It was even edited by teenagers  aged 12-14! We are confident that with this book  you  your family or students can become Genetic Engineering Heroes.  This book is the perfect journey for students to learn the basics of programming bacteria. Covering the first principles  extracting proteins youve engineered bacteria to create  and controlling genetic circuits are the topics you need to know before you start innovating on your iGEM or Science Fair project. K. Turton  High School iGEM advisor \u0026amp; Synthetic Biologist  \"Zero to Genetic Engineering Hero is an amazing book. While at first glance it comes off as intimidating  a brief perusal shows its simple straightforward supportive style.
