GMOs?! Don't they give you cancer? Are they less healthy? Are they safe? These are some of the questions raised about genetic engineering. Although more than 90% of the corn and soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified, making GMOs a part of our daily diet, many don't know what that means. Students in agriculture courses not only need make decisions about this technology as consumers, but also potentially as producers. 'Journey of a Gene', a FREE app, will empower teachers to incorporate this topic into their classroom, focusing on the science behind the technology and taking students into the labs and fields of the scientists. This resource can be used by either the student alone or as a classroom resource.
