Fantastic!
The kit was well packaged and the directions were thorough. My son and his lab partner were able to complete this for their science fair project. They were featured in our local news! I will be purchasing more for my students.

Great Science Experiment
I ordered the Genetic Design Starter Kit for my grandson’s science fair project. It was easy enough to follow for me to help him. He is in 7th grade and very interested in cutting edge science.

bonne expérience
Vraiment super

Awesome
Yes! I have created life! The instructions were a little ambiguous if it is your first time and culturing at room temp takes more like 4 days. But, man, creating life is awesome. Now I know what it is to be a mother.

Amazing!!!
Works as advertised, read through the experiment a few times before you get started. Already ordered my Bioengineering 101, can't wait!!!

Worth it
Had lots of fun doing this and got a lot of hands on experience. I would suggest that the kit come with extra inoculation loops because I almost ran out. I would love to see more kits like this or possibly some empty backbones to design your own plasmid for the more advanced users. Also tip to those who have contamination issues, performing parts of the experiment, like streaking, in a sandwich bag or oven bag is a good way to keep things sterile, at least from my experience.

New and Improved
I love the new and improved jellyfish genetics kit! I ordered one last year to use in my 7th grade science classroom. The issues I had with the previous kit, such as scattered materials and convoluted instructions, seem to be fixed with the new iteration of the kit. I love that it comes with links to instructional videos and materials. My kids have a blast doing their genetic design projects each year!

Success on 2nd attempt
Messed up what bacteria to grow at the start so re-did and had success. The folks at Odin rock, love the vids and weekly updates, I'll be back for more.

Just do it.
This kit does require a little concentration and I found that things took a little longer than described, so...patience. Doing this kit force me to learn A LOT about how genes work and this is what I wanted. It's pretty simple but requires a number of steps. I'd recommend giving things a couple days to happen. It took a few days to get my bacteria to grow etc. But, hey, what's the hurry. Be careful who you about this. Some people have have very strong opinions about anything like this and they think you're some sort of evil scientist just for trying to learn something.
