Happy (observed) birthday, Foldit!

Circle with Foldit GraphicFlashback with us to eight years ago and to a time when a little protein folding game with a big dream was unleashed upon the world. Since then, Foldit has been the subject of dozens of articles, numerous papers and presentations, won awards, and had our early days chronicled in a book. We have also appeared in a nearly countless number of articles and mentioned in other books!

These days, our community is focused on breaking new ground, with great tools like the Ramachandran map and an experimental client with tools for small molecule drug discovery!

With frequent and regular science chats, a steady stream of videos produced by the community, and new puzzles appearing to challenge players regularly, there’s never been a better time to get involved.

Also, we’ll be at Shoreline STEM festival this weekend if you want to say hi!

We have a busy spring schedule ahead and would love to see you if you are in the area!

April 20: Bennett Elementary Family Science Night, Bellevue, WA
Our Foldit team will be out and about to share the fun of protein folding for students and parents.

April 22-23: Engineering Discovery Days, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
Come meet members from the entire team, pick up a packet of Algebra Challenge event stickers for you and your class, and try out fantastic Center for Game science titles during this annual two day event.

April 26: Spiritridge Elementary Family Science Night, Bellevue, WA
As part of our “Spring into Science” tour this year, we’re also headed to Spiritridge Elementary for our very first Family Science Night there.

May 14: Shoreline STEM Festival and Science Fair, Shoreline, WA
When we were invited to this great event last year, we had such a great time meeting everyone that we’re doing it again! This K-12 student science fair features hands-on STEM fun, robotics demonstrations, and more.

 


Winter is coming!

Winter is coming to CGS, and with it a few small updates:

Come see us and many other great CSE groups at Computing Open House on Saturday, December 5th to kick off Computer Science Education Week.

Next, we’re pleased to announce Dragon Architect has a new website!

Finally, our time as part of the Verigames family may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop for Paradox  fans. We are pleased to announce you can continue to play Paradox straight from the Center for Game Science website. Paradox (and Flow Jam) wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people over the years and we want to say thank you for playing along with us.
