So, we make a video game intended to teach students Immunology and cell biology. So we are obviously interested in the many ways that a creative media like video games, graphic design, song writing, story writing, and even music video can be used to present science effectively. And let is also remember that the process of writing that story is actually a rigorous course of education for the author.

Edutopia made another video about McKinley High School. It describes an iTEST funded project directed by Dr Kevin Clark at George Mason University, in which high school and college students are trained as instructors and then assist high school teachers during the school year. The high school classes they help to teach are educational game design!

I am experimenting with using Immune Attack to get students interested in science. In particular, to get kids to ask questions about nanotech, chemistry or biology, etc in the game and to research their answer on the Web. I presented this idea to the students of Mr. Kenneth Leslie’s engineering class at McKinley Technology High School in Washington,

Welcome to the blog about the Science of Immune Attack. This page is just for fun reading and discussion.
The first topic is Nanotechnology.
The Nanobot in our game, Immune Attack is constructed of so far unspecified materials. For Immune Attack 2.0, we would like to specify how our Nanobot is constructed.
