Hi, genetically engineering algae is more difficult than working with Cyanobacteria... You may want to do that first?

Helpful video... 

Maybe, Agrobacterium can transform algae too? I assume so. That would be easy to work with. Or a polyethylenglycole transformation, then you could use a pGreen-like vector...

You should probably volunteer in a relevant molecular biology lab while in university- take advantage of that opportunity to get familiar with the procedures and principles while you can.

Almost anything you easily can do in a regular lab in a university/company is hard to do in DIYbio.  Just getting basic chemicals can be a big chore, let alone the kits that make everything easy in a university lab.  So it's best to have some experience so you know where you can cut corners, where you can't, just what the basics are, etc. 

Stick with the computer science, take a biology and/or bioinformatics course, do molecular biology in your 'free' time!  

good luck-
