As an educational kit Genomikon is itself a project strongly involved with the human practices of synthetic biology. The kit is an introduction to synthetic biology teaching the next wave of students about its principles and practices even before they enroll in university. The goal of our project was to create a functional kit capable of assembling complete plasmids to be used in educational setting and Genomikon is highly successful in this regard. The Genomikon kit however will never teach anyone if it never makes its way to classrooms. With this in mind we decided to do the human practice portion of our project directly addressing this problem. | As an educational kit Genomikon is itself a project strongly involved with the human practices of synthetic biology.

Human Practices
As an educational kit Genomikon is itself a project strongly involved with the human practices of synthetic biology. The kit is an introduction to synthetic biology teaching the next wave of students about its principles and practices even before they enroll in university. The goal of our project was to create a functional kit capable of assembling complete plasmids to be used in educational setting and Genomikon is highly successful in this regard. The Genomikon kit however will never teach anyone if it never makes its way to classrooms. With this in mind we decided to do the human practice portion of our project directly addressing this problem.
Business Plan and Market Analysis
Our team began imagining ways to accommodate the global demand for GENOMIKON with the goal of getting the kit in each and every high school all around the world. To address this issue of accessibility, undergraduate students from the University’s school of business created a hypothetical business plan and market analysis to bring GENOMIKON to market. A business plan was created because we recognize that in our society the marketplace is the most efficient means to manufacture and distribute a good to the greatest number people. This business plan is designed to help our project to have the biggest impact on humanity sharing the knowledge of synthetic biology to as many people as possible
