Abstract

Gene expression to produce protein is divided into transcription and translation. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribe from a sequence of the DNA strand that acts as a template in a process called transcription. The process in which the base sequence on the mRNA is used to synthesize amino acids sequence is called translation. GeneX Learning Kit is designed to provide hands on learning tools for students to interact and discuss in group guided by instructor. Student are able to simulate the process of gene expression by controlling the DNA sequence, mRNA strand, tRNA, ribosomes, and amino acid sequence. It can accommodate 5-6 students at maximum per group. The GeneX Learning Kit is light weight, and portable, suitable to accommodate learning process in classroom. It is equipped with gamebased activity for better facilitative communicative engagement in learning protein synthesis. This kit is suitable to be used in a classroom and as laboratory practice during learning genetic expression. The interactive and competitive nature of playing the GeneX Learning Kit provides a fun and meaningful learning experience not confined to the traditional learning method. Therefore, learning and practicing the process of gene expression will become interesting and entertaining.
