It’s the year 2030. Designer mutations have changed the face of humanity. A new company, Genetically You, is offering people the chance to buy customizable genetic mutations. As an employee of this company, it will be your job to fill various roles required to address the multi-faceted challenges associated with this kind of technology.
This is the preamble to a unit project I created in my first year but never got the chance to implement due to time constraints. The entire project is story-driven around the concept of “designer genes” and students get to assume the roles of different employees in the company, such as geneticist, PR rep, sales and marketing, etc. It is designed, no pun intended, to cover the Cell Division, Genetics and Molecular Biology unit for Biology 30.
