We need to learn more about these topics:

Biology-based
  1. What is msDNA?
  2. How is msDNA normally produced?
  3. How is msDNA stored in E. coli?
  4. How many copies are carried per cell?
  5. What is the sequence of bacterial reverse transcriptase and can we clone that gene?
  6. Can we redesign the normal msDNA pathway to produce new segments of DNA of our choosing?


Math-based
  1. What interesting challenges or problems does origami offer?
  2. Can we produce a series of increasingly difficult goals that might be possible to produce in the lab?
  3. What has been done before and how can we improve upon that?
  4. We can perform some pilot experiments using synthesized DNA and later switch to msDNA (maybe).


Behavior-based
  1. What constructs are we testing?
  2. What school districts do we have access to?
  3. Where is the Synthetic Biology page we want high school teachers to use after the survey?
  4. Do you need any more input from the veterans before the survey is ready?
