== Topics ==
*''Biology Theme:'' Constructing simple function network motifs (switches, oscillators, etc.) from standardised parts.

*''Electrical/Computer Engineering Theme:'' The "Art of electronics" - building transistors, op-amps etc.

*''Control/Systems Engineering Theme:'' Modelling and understanding the robustness of simple biological and electrical circuits.

Ethical, economical, philosophical, legal and societal issues as well as measurement methods will form ''underlying themes''.
