ZOMBIO

A group of three girls from St. Francis Xavier has turned a difficult chemistry concept into an animated game that learners can easily understand. They presented the subject of biomolecules through the story of Zombio. In this game, players take the role of Zombio, who wants to be human, and create a science lab in his basement. They are required to watch an experiment and must answer a series of questions so Zombio can become a person.

The content comprises five lessons covering carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids and an experimental section.

“This program enhances laboratory experience for students at schools with no labs,” said team leader Thanjira Sukkree.

The team applied Adobe Illustrator CS6, Audacity, Zinc 4.0 and Adobe Flash CS6, with Action script 3.0 controlling the software, in developing this app.
