Hi
With a good practice of Arduino/Raspberry pi, with a 3d printer and some knowledge of synthetic biology (and a huge motivation of course) would it be possible, for educational purposes, to build a machine that would synthesize a very small molecule of DNA ?
I had seen some prototypes on the IGEM site :
https://2015.igem.org/Team:Cooper_Union/Loomino_Description
https://2021.igem.org/Team:Aachen/Description
(they use enzymatic method)
DNA electrowetter below
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/dna-electrowetter-device/956082
(and assuming the reagents would be accessible...)
Cheers
Karim

GoldenGate. Expression is outside of outside of scope, though it's kinda easy in my experience.

Sequencing.

I've cloned thousands of genes myself and was part of designing of many genetic toolkits (led https://stanford.freegenes.org/ for 3 years). Also a main contributor of Poly (https://github.com/timothystiles/poly), and founded a company doing full automation for synbio (in particular, the DNA assembly space). I've built functioning systems for this task before, which is honestly quite a bit more illuminating than talking about building them.

Being specific to answer this may benefit you... Answering a question to others often clarifies it for yourself too.
ex: a Fat jupyter notebook full of files and notes, or what ?
Big projects are fun projects, you named yourself one.
Good luck !
