3D Biology Games to Teach Biology

[Techne]

An interesting project is underway to make 3D games that help teach kids (and grown ups) more about biology. Thought this was interesting:

Love science?

Think science education could save the world? Don’t understand why there are almost no high-quality science video games?

Support our project and make it happen!

The three of us are scientific animators and game developers and we're making a biology game that could revolutionize high school science learning. We’ve begun one level of the game, and you can see us playing it in our video. With your help, we're going to turn this demo into a game that will be used in science classrooms around the world to teach students in a visual and kinesthetic way.

This game will also be totally fun for our fellow science nerds to play!

What we're gonna do:

We're planning on spending 3-6 months creating a game that contains a fully-immersive world inside a cell with at least five distinct mini-games. As we're working, we're going to test the game with local teachers and students to get feedback that will help us make the game as useful (and as fun!) as possible for biology education.

About us:

We’re scientific animators and we make animations and games for science companies, museums, and all types of educational institutions. We met a couple months ago when we realized that we live in the same city and do the same thing!

Check out some of the work, it's quite good.

Awesome!
The voice over artist sounds like she has a South African accent.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was born here.
