he human body’s immune system works as a complex network whose different parts coordinate to fight off a wide range of threatening pathogens. But educators run into challenges bringing textbook teaching about the immune system to life. Ink and paper just don’t do justice to explain the complexity and the interactivity of the immune system at work.
Scientists have teamed up with game developers and engineers to develop a new game that shows – and teaches – how the immune system works. ImmuneQuest, the latest example of games in education, was developed with financial support from the National Science Foundation.
