With today’s technology, we should be able to advance education by  teaching high-level science topics to the public. What's taking so long,  and how can we use technology to make learning fun and reach new  audiences? Join a panel discussion with an interdisciplinary team who  created Microscopya, a science communication game exploring the  beautiful universe inside the human cell.    

Panelists include Dr. Beata Mierzwa (molecular biologist and science  artist), Matthew Cooney, MSc (conservationist and science communicator),  Michael Butler, MEIM (game developer and founder of Atelier Monarch  Studios), and Jamie van Dyck, B.A. (composer and guitarist of  Earthside). The panel will be moderated by Dr. Melanie Stegman (Game  Design Faculty at Maryland Institute College of Art and founder of  Molecular Jig Games).    

This project was made possible through the IF/THEN She Can Change The  World Project Grant, with additional funding from the COMPASS Outreach  Grant of the American Society for Cell Biology.    #gamedev #videogamedev #science
