I agree with space costs, but equipment can be had relatively cheap
for very basic intro stuff. I'm not sure if the genspace has a
membership fee, and if that covers space costs or not.

In my hometown, a community college credits are about $70, so a 4
credit 16 week class should be about $300, maybe a little more if
there are lab fees and taxes. If you want the most bang for your buck
(dollar), I suggest getting into a molecular bio course with a lab (or
similar) at a community college.
