"I really liked playing these games, they get your brain working, I found it at my school while doing a game in science. You should make more games to play." Student
I am a middle school educator and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with this website as a teaching tool. It is chockful of useful information but the students still love 'playing' on it because of the enjoyable games. I actually enjoy doing the missions myself because they are so engaging - the subject and humor can be on the mature side, but usually my 5th graders are able to grasp the important material without getting too bogged down with the 'embarrassing' subjects e.g. diarrhea. Thanks for making such a great site!

"This was very fun I really enjoyed this. It made me think about my future. I might major in this field."
Student
"I just love this site. You did an amazing job and I can not wait to try this in my micro class this fall. Thank you so much."
Teacher
"This was absolutely a blast! I'm going to tell
other friends about this site some are real good in science and
others struggle. But it really is a fun and exciting way to learn in
our technical age! Please create more!"
Student
"Absolutely the most fun
I have had in a while. I was working on my web site for my
students (7th grade science) and looking for good informative, but fun,
sites for them to view at home. I had so much fun on your site that I
will take them to the lab at school to work through it. The thing that
makes it the BEST is that it is VERY informative without being BORING.
They are going to LOVE it. I can't wait to play the rest."
Teacher
"Awesome! It was so much fun - it made learning
easy! I will recommend this site to my friends. Can you make these for
a Latin class?!"
Student
"I think that it was a really fun and cool game.
It was a much easier way to learn more about cells and diseases. I
really enjoyed your site and I will spread the word about your site to
other students."
Student
"This is an incredible teaching tool. There is
enough information to target all ability levels. I will surely be using
this as either an extra-credit or mandatory assignment with my 8th
grade health classes this year. You have done an amazing job with this!
I would love to see more of these types of teaching tools for other
health-related
topics such as nutrition or substance abuse! Thanks a bunch!"
Teacher
"Mission 1 was really cool, and the games made
it even more interesting.
You guys make those infectious diseases sound like fun to learn. Well
at least I know more about how to prevent them! It was cool!"
Student
"I just wanted to let you know that my 8th grade
students are really getting into your games. These games help them play
at their own pace, are at a reading level that is easy for them to
follow, and the students are having fun learning at the same time. I
have even adjusted the worksheets that you supply so that they are
filling them out while
they are going through the games. Thank you for creating something that
follows our
curriculum and standards so well. We will be anxiously waiting for your
next
mission to be completed."
Teacher
"This site was recommended by a parent on a mailing list devoted to the
raising and education of profoundly gifted kids. I will be passing a link for your site on to my daughter's teacher.
I think you've done a great job and hope she uses it in the classroom! I'll also show it to my daughter, who
is interested in things biological. Thanks for a great job!"

"We're giving (MedMyst magazines) to all the students participating in a project of which your site
is a component! By the way, KUDOS on the site...I have been searching diligently for something fun, interactive, and
understandable on this topic for my middle schoolers. We are doing an integrated unit
using Laurie Halse Anderson's 'Fever 1793' and Jim Murphy's 'An American
Plague'...your site is perfect for the technology component!"
Teacher
"Brilliant website - colourful, scientifically accurate, and fun! I shall use it for my students
and especially the students who have trouble with science. Congratulations!"
Teacher
"This game was really cool. I really learned
about it from a disease detective program that I went to over spring
break. I want to become a children's doctor. This program ... helped me
understand the job of a chemist/ physician. Thank you!"
