This is the start screen for a game called Solve the Outbreak. A DNA molecule and even a schematic of an atom is visible in the background.... There are some people in a picture over the start button... Basically, this picture makes you want to know more!
Second game that was reviewed today on th Science Game Center is Solve the Outbreak. www.sciencegamecenter.org/games/solve-...
This game is by the Centers for Disease Control CDC. Yes, our scientists using the best learning technology we have: games! #immunology #infectiousdisease 🧪 #scicomm
Butterflies, green and brown beetles, ants and flies are beautifully drawn there is a magnifying glass but no bugs are under the magnifying glass only the title of the game which is Virtual Insect Collection Lab!
Two new player reviews today at the Science Game Center.
First one is Virtual Insect Collection by the Learning Games Lab at New Mexico State.

This is the title image for Tami's Tower: Let's Think About Engineering. There's a colorful cartoon drawing of a jungle with a monkey, elephant, panda, and crocodile plus colorful building blocks stacked up in a tower.... The monkey is climbing the tower to get some red fruit on a tree.... The game art makes it look like the game is aimed at children aged around 10...

#gamedev 🧪 Come read this review, maybe play this game yourself! It's from the Smithsonian's science education group. Search for more games by topic, player age or hardware at the Science Game Center.
I reviewed a game: Antibody One A sweet short game about microscopic things battling for their life, and yours. Play it! Review it on my little Science Game site, and tell your friends about it. Together we help science game find their audiences. 🧪 gamedev www.sciencegamecenter.org/games/antibo...
Awesome 😎😍

I asked all the neighbors I knew who shoveled my walk this morning... Turned out to be a neighbor hadn't met yet! They have kids who shovel, so I baked them brownies! It's a lovely community here in Johnston Square, Baltimore City!

So we are taking over Venezuela? Please vote in the primaries and in November.
I do not support what my country is doing.
Since the Kennedy Center no longer exists:
We need a Kennedy Center in exile. Maybe in Baltimore?
Rebook all the cancelations.
Make them charity concerts with full pay to the artists.

Ok I guess I should say "Yay, 26 more sex nods of sunlight!!!"
40-16= 26
Yay!! 16 seconds!
“Every part of the world seems to have a different interpretation of what it means to make a game. All connected by a love for creating them… I’m inspired by how wildly different every community is.”
Two years is the perfect amount of time! It's impossible to do it faster, given thenpoaytesting etc and any longer, you get tired of it and the tech changes before you finish!! You did great, I would say!!!! I'm going to try to get my siblings to play with me over Xmas!
Congratulations!!! 👏🏽💐👏🏽💐👏🏽
People were not _crazy_ drunk! It was a lovely evening of togetherness... And fireworks set to Christmas music, of course! Baltimore City. We do use our streets well, don't we!?

This meditation rattles in my brain, too! A game can teach how the electron transport chain, to free us from the mitochondria as a "powerhouse" The game Microscopya by @microscopyagame.bsky.social for example. It approaches a playable model. Such games can prep players for more complex concepts.
However, as you can guess, games teach a particular model of a system. Every model has its limitations, as does every game. Some have resisted using games to teach abstract concepts I think b/c we can't make the game "real enough" but everything is a model, just the best model we have for now.
I make games that teach science. As you sais, I am especially interested is being able to teach without using metaphors. Games require players to learn a set of rules, a system if you will, and then to try to solve well defined problems in that system. So, games are great for teaching science.
