Immune Attack is a video game designed by the Federation of American Scientists to help teach immunology concepts to students in senior level high school biology and first year university biology.
To play the game, users control a microscopic robot and navigate through a first-person 3D body, completing a series of stepwise missions to detect a bacterial infection and activate the appropriate defensive immune cells. These stepwise missions follow the actual biological process that occurs during an infection and how immune cells are stimulated to kill the bacteria.
Immune Attack is a supplemental teaching tool, designed to be used in conjunction with HS and freshman college biology textbooks.
It’s a free download (registration required). To learn more about the game see the Teacher Guide, Game Guide and System Requirements.
